INDOT Provides I-69 Project Update
Local Sources - INDOT officials have provided an update on the I-69 project. As the countdown to spring continues, INDOT crews have been working this winter to keep moving toward the I-69 Finish Line. While winter weather slows some construction, demolition, bridgework and small concrete pours have continued as weather allows. Contractors build their construction schedules around winter weather and I-69 Finish Line remains on track to open to traffic at the end of 2024. Seventeen miles of new highway opened to traffic in Morgan County at the end of 2021, but work is not complete. Temperature-sensitive work will resume in the area this spring including the final layer of asphalt pavement, permanent striping and the painting of noise barriers and retaining walls. You can learn more about the progress made in 2021 and look ahead to the work planned in 2022 by watching our project update videos for Morgan, Johnson and Marion counties. |

- Crews expect to close the left, inside lanes of I-69 early this week to remove a paved crossover and regrade the area south of Martinsville near Indian Creek.
- Expect to see crews pouring concrete from southbound S.R. 37 on Tuesday and Wednesday for the Myra Lane overpass.
- Southbound S.R. 37 is expected to open to two lanes in the coming weeks between Henderson Ford Road and Martinsville. The previous crossover is being regraded and railing installed. The speed limit remains 45 mph.
- Henderson Ford Road traffic should stay alert for crews performing drainage work near the roundabout and crews are also installing a Morgan County monument in the I-69 interchange. Expect short delays for traffic flaggers.
The actual starting date and duration for work and any closures may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen activities occur.
