BARTHOLOMEW CO. — Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Force Construction plans to have the left lane of northbound I-65 closed between mile marker 65 and 66 and conduct a series of rolling slow-downs in the area from approximately 9 p.m. on Friday, July 30 to 6 a.m. on Saturday, July 31.
The lane will be closed to remove a temporary barrier wall, and traffic will be slowed to 45 mph for five to ten minutes at a time throughout the night to move equipment around Denios Creek.
Motorists should use extra caution in the area and watch for slowed traffic. Electronic message boards and queue trucks will be on-site to help warn drivers of changing conditions. All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.
This work is part of a $65 million contract that includes the addition of a third travel lane on I-65 between S.R. 58 and S.R. 46, bridge widening and rehabilitation, structure replacement, and asphalt resurfacing from the Driftwood River Bridge to U.S. 31 at Taylorsville. The contract was awarded in October and is expected to be complete in summer 2023.
