Hendricks County, IN – Drivers traveling westbound on Interstate 74 in Hendricks County are facing delays today after a crash forced a lane closure near the 56th Street overpass.
According to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), the right lane of I-74 westbound is փակ between Ronald Reagan Parkway and 56th Street following the incident. The alert was issued earlier today, with officials urging motorists to proceed cautiously through the affected stretch.
The crash scene appears to involve multiple vehicles pulled over along the right shoulder near the bridge, with traffic continuing to move slowly past the area. While the extent of injuries has not been confirmed, the closure is already impacting commute times for drivers heading through the Brownsburg-area corridor and toward western suburbs of Indianapolis.
INDOT has not provided an estimated time for when the lane will reopen, but delays are expected to continue as crews work to clear the scene. Motorists are encouraged to consider alternate routes or allow for extra travel time during peak hours.
This section of I-74 is a key connector for regional traffic, making even a single-lane closure significant for midday and afternoon travel.
Drivers are reminded to stay alert, reduce speed, and watch for emergency responders in the area.
