Below is the work that is scheduled to happen on the interstates in Marion County over the weekend.

Dear All,

Below is the work that is scheduled to happen on the interstates in Marion County over the weekend.  Please note that there is a lot that may affect your traveling on the northwest side of Indianapolis on I-465 as well as going downtown on I-65.  Look over the map.  With only one lane open in some areas traffic will be extremely slow and may back up.  Plan your routes and travel times accordingly if traveling in areas that they are working.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.  Sounds like the weather will continue to be great for some outdoor activities and hopefully will be good for road work to get accomplished.

Sincerely,

Janice McHenry

City-County Councillor District 6

Weekend Work: Construction Around Marion County

September 27-30

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Department of Transportation will be out in full force this weekend as the construction season winds down.

Contractors will be in five different locations around Marion County repairing winter damage by strengthening bridges and extending the life of 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.
