Tell City, IN – Drivers in Perry County can expect delays as lane closures are set to begin along a key stretch of State Road 66 in Tell City, impacting daily commutes and local travel.
According to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), crews will begin lane closures on Monday, April 6, along westbound State Road 66 between Washington Street and William Tell Boulevard. The closures will affect the outside driving lane as construction crews begin work on sidewalk and approach improvements in the area.
Officials said the project will be completed in phases, allowing traffic to continue flowing through the corridor. The inside westbound passing lane will remain open during construction, helping to minimize disruptions for motorists traveling through the city.
The work is expected to continue through early September, depending on weather conditions. INDOT emphasized that timelines could shift if inclement weather or unforeseen issues arise during construction.
Drivers are being urged to use caution when traveling through the work zone. Reduced speeds, lane shifts, and construction equipment are expected throughout the duration of the project. INDOT also reminds motorists to stay alert, avoid distractions, and be prepared for changing traffic patterns in the area.
The improvements are part of ongoing efforts to enhance pedestrian access and roadway safety in Tell City. Local officials say the upgrades will provide long-term benefits for both drivers and pedestrians once completed.
Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and consider alternate routes when possible to avoid congestion during peak travel hours.
