BARTHOLOMEW CO. — Indiana Department of Transportation contractor ICC Group plans to begin work in mid-August to perform bridge work at the I-65/U.S. 31 interchange in Taylorsville (Exit 76).
On or after Monday, August 14, lanes of U.S. 31 will be restricted under I-65 and ramps will close at the interchange. Intermittent weeknight and weekend closures will occur through late October as work progresses. Weeknight closures will take place between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m., with weekend closures scheduled between 9 p.m. on Fridays and 6 a.m. on Mondays.
Affected ramps include the I-65 SB loop ramp to U.S. 31 SB and the I-65 NB loop ramp to U.S. 31 NB. Drivers will be detoured to Exit 80 (S.R. 252/Edinburgh) when ramps are closed. Crews plan to begin work over southbound U.S. 31 and will move to northbound U.S. 31 in September. Portable message boards will be in place along I-65 and U.S. 31 to alert drivers of closures and restrictions.
INDOT reminds motorists to consider worker safety by slowing down, using caution, and driving distraction-free in and near construction zones. All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.
