INDOT to Complete I-69 Finish Line Project Early

The Indiana Department of Transportation promises the I-69 Finish Line Project will finish a year earlier than expected.

The project, which began in 2019, is the sixth and final section of the I-69 connection between Evansville and Indianapolis.

The entire project is now expected to finish a year earlier, in 2024, that speed comes at a price: a five mile stretch between State Road 39 and Morgan Street will be shut down in order to expedite construction efforts.

There will be no north-south accessibility on State Road 37 once the closure is in place. There will be however be some east-west connectivity that will cross State Road 37 to help people get to Martinsville.

That closure will begin this coming Saturday, Jan. 2, and will last until late 2021.

The official detour for the closure in Martinsville will follow State Road 39 to State Road 67 and to State Road 144.
