Be mindful of construction during Thanksgiving holiday

The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) is reminding drivers of some construction projects during the Thanksgiving weekend travel.

Around 50 million Americans are expected to hit the road this weekend for Thanksgiving travel, according to AAA.

INDOT is asking drivers to plan ahead and pay attention on the roads. Below is a list of current construction projects that will have impacts to holiday travel:

  • North Split Project (Marion County): Interstate 65 through Downtown Indianapolis is closed to traffic. For thru traffic, use the posted detour on I-465.
    • Market Street will reopen briefly for the Thanksgiving weekend.
    • Clair Street is closed through Dec. 3.
    • Ohio Street is closed through Dec. 3.
  • I-69 Finish Line (Morgan, Johnson, Marion Counties): State Road 37 is still closed in Martinsville from State Road 39 to Morgan Street.
  • I-65 and 109th Street (Lake County): Exit closed. Motorists can exit at U.S. 231 and U.S. 30 as a detour.
  • State Road 28 (Clinton County): Eastbound lanes of SR 28 are closed in Frankfort between McKinley and Jackson streets. Westbound lanes will remain open. The official detour follows I-65 to S.R. 47 to S.R. 39 and back.

As a reminder, INDOT offices will be closed Thursday and Friday, Nov. 25-26, to observe the Thanksgiving holiday.
