The Indiana Department of Transportation announces a road work moratorium for the Labor Day weekend beginning Friday afternoon, Aug. 30, through the morning hours of Tuesday, Sept. 2.
As Labor Day holiday weekend is typically one of the busiest times for travel on Indiana’s highways, road restrictions will be removed to ease traffic flow for holiday drivers whenever possible.
Some closures and restrictions will remain on larger projects that cannot safely reopen to traffic. Here’s where you will see restrictions remaining over the holiday weekend:

Drive Safely
INDOT reminds Hoosiers to travel safely and plan for more driving time during the busy weekend.
- Pay attention: Don’t text or talk on the phone and avoid taking your hands off the wheel. Driver inattention is a leading cause of all highway crashes.
- Slow down: Be aware of the speed limits and abide by them – no one wants to ruin a great holiday weekend with a speeding ticket.
- Leave early and plan ahead: Expect delays and allow extra travel time on one of the busiest holidays of the year.
Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over
Through Labor Day, Sept. 2, the Indiana State Police and hundreds of local law-enforcement agencies across Indiana will be arresting impaired drivers by aggressively targeting those who put lives in danger. Expect to see increased sobriety checkpoints, roving patrols and saturation patrols. Overtime police patrols are supported with federal highway safety funds as part of the national Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over enforcement blitz. Click here for more information.
