Milestone Contractors plans alternating lane closures on northbound and southbound Interstate 69 during overnight hours this week for road construction, including removing the Brooks School Road bridge deck over the interstate.
Construction is dependent on favorable weather and schedules are subject to change:
- Tuesday night between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m., the right lane of northbound I-69 was closed between State Road 13 (Exit 214) and State Road 38 (Exit 219) to place temporary concrete barriers along the construction zone.
- Wednesday and Thursday nights between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m., the left lane of southbound I-69 will be closed between State Road 13 (Exit 214) and Campus Parkway (Exit 210) for paving.
- Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m., one lane will be closed and one lane will remain open on northbound and southbound I-69 as crews remove the Brooks School Road bridge, which is south of Campus Parkway Exit 210.
The Brooks School Road bridge over I-69 is closed until August for reconstruction. During the closure, traffic is detoured to Promise Road via 126th and 136th streets.
Madison County Road 650 West closes Friday
The Madison County Road 650 West overpass is scheduled to close on Friday, June 2 until August for bridge maintenance and preservation. During the closure, traffic will be detoured to State Road 38/State Street and Fall Creek Drive.
Both overpasses are scheduled to open in early August to minimize impacts to school transportation. For more information about the projects, and to see maps of the closures and detour routes, go to http://www.in.gov/indot/3442.htm.
About the project
The $92 million I-69 Major Moves 2020 project is adding a travel lane in each direction to the median between State Road 37 (Exit 205) and State Road 38 (Exit 219) and adding a southbound lane along the shoulder between the 116th Street entrance ramp and the new 106th Street exit ramp.
The project includes widening the Campus Parkway bridge over I-69 and reconfiguring the Campus Parkway interchange (Exit 210) into a double-crossover diamond design.
In addition, other improvements are being made to rehabilitate existing bridges, pavement and drainage structures on the stretch of interstate.
Two lanes of traffic in each direction of I-69 are currently shifted to accommodate construction of the additional travel lanes. Signs direct large trucks to use the left lane while traffic is shifted toward the right shoulder through the work zone. The speed limit is reduced to 60 mph and further reduced to 50 mph when workers are present.
