Boone County, Indiana – Multiple crashes shut down all northbound lanes of Interstate 65, disrupting traffic and prompting safety warnings.
According to the Boone County Sheriff’s Office, all lanes of I-65 northbound were closed in the area between mile markers 137 and 140 due to accidents reported earlier today. Officials issued a traffic alert urging motorists to use caution and avoid the area while emergency crews respond.
The affected stretch of interstate runs north of Lebanon and serves as a major commuter and freight corridor through central Indiana. With all northbound lanes blocked, significant traffic delays are expected as vehicles are diverted to alternate routes.
The sheriff’s office did not immediately release details on the number of vehicles involved or whether injuries were reported. The cause of the crashes has not been confirmed, and the investigation remains ongoing. Motorists are advised to follow directions from law enforcement and watch for changing traffic patterns.
Traffic backups were reported extending several miles south of the closure as of the latest update. Drivers traveling toward Lafayette or northwest Indiana are encouraged to seek alternate routes until the roadway reopens.
This closure may particularly impact morning commuters, delivery drivers, and workers traveling between Boone County and surrounding regions.
No estimated time for reopening has been announced. Updates are expected as crash scenes are cleared and road conditions are assessed.
