Boone County, Ind. – Lanes 2 and 3 on southbound Interstate 65 near mile marker 133 reopened Saturday, easing traffic delays in the area.
According to the Boone County Sheriff’s Office, the southbound lanes in the area of the 133 mile marker were reopened after a temporary closure. Authorities issued the traffic alert earlier in the day before confirming that both lanes were back open.
Officials did not immediately release additional details about what caused the closure. It remains unclear whether the incident involved a crash, stalled vehicle or roadway hazard.
The affected stretch of I-65 is a major north-south corridor connecting central Indiana to Chicago and Louisville. Even short-term lane closures in this area can cause backups, particularly during weekend travel periods.
Drivers traveling through Boone County were advised to remain alert and watch for any residual congestion as traffic patterns returned to normal.
The reopening restores full southbound access through the corridor, reducing the likelihood of continued slowdowns.
For commuters and delivery drivers who rely on I-65 for regional travel, restored lane access helps prevent extended delays.
Motorists are encouraged to monitor local traffic updates and follow posted signage when traveling through the area.
