Dear All,

Here is the latest from INDOT (Indiana Department of Transportation) that I have for this coming weekend on planned construction. If you look at the map it gives a better picture of where work will be happening and how it may affect you better than the text does. Hope this is helpful as you go about driving around Indianapolis over the weekend. Take special note of the northwest side and what is going on closest to us. Have a great weekend and enjoy the weather!

Sincerely,

Janice McHenry

City-County Councillor District 6

Weekend Work: Construction Around Marion County

September 20-23

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Department of Transportation is reminding drivers to be aware in construction zones across Marion County.

INDOT will have construction crews in five different locations around Indianapolis. They will be working to repair winter damage by extending the life of bridges and pavement. Maintenance crews will also be out working to repair barrier wall, guardrails, clearing drains and fixing lights.

Drivers are encouraged to plan their routes ahead of time and use local routes when they can. In construction zones, please slow down and don’t drive distracted. Drivers are also reminded to add extra time to get to weekend destinations.

Indiana State Police and the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department will be patrolling work zones and ticketing drivers for speeding and reckless/distracted driving. INDOT crews and Hoosier Helpers will be present on the interstates to make sure drivers are aware of slowing traffic and upcoming work zones.

Construction work is weather dependent in some cases.
