Nightly lane closures are scheduled to begin on the north and southbound lanes of I-65 beginning Friday.

The Indiana Department of Transportation says crews will be doing lane and shoulder resurfacing from mile-markers 64.5 to 65. Work will take place from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. each evening as part of the I-65 reconstruction and added travel lanes project in Jackson and Bartholomew Counties.

Lane closures are scheduled as follows:

Friday, September 27 (9 p.m. to 6 a.m.): Lane closures from MM 64.5 to MM 65, travel lanes milling/paving
Monday, September 30 (9 p.m. to 6 a.m.): Lane closures from MM 64.5 to MM 65, travel lanes milling/paving
Tuesday, October 1 (9 p.m. to 6 a.m.): Lane closures from MM 64.5 to MM 65, shoulder milling/paving

Drivers should continue to adhere to the 55 mph speed restriction and use extra caution in the ongoing construction zone between Columbus and Seymour. All trucks should use the left lane for travel.

The project is expected to be complete by next August. All work is dependent on the weather.
