Lafayette, Indiana – Overnight lane closures on Interstate 65 beginning Monday will slow traffic across three counties as crews begin roadway repairs.
According to INDOT West Central, maintenance crews will start patching operations on I-65 on Monday, April 6, affecting Boone, Clinton, and Tippecanoe counties. The work will take place in both northbound and southbound lanes.
Officials said crews will close one lane at a time during overnight hours, reducing traffic capacity along the corridor. The work zone will stretch between State Road 38 near Dayton and State Road 47, a frequently traveled հատված connecting Lafayette and Lebanon.
According to INDOT, the project is expected to last up to one week, depending on weather conditions. Drivers should anticipate delays, especially during nighttime travel when lane restrictions are active.
The repairs are part of routine roadway maintenance aimed at improving pavement conditions and extending the lifespan of the interstate. INDOT has not specified exact nightly closure times but indicated work will begin Monday evening.
Motorists are urged to slow down, use caution in work zones, and plan for extra travel time. Drivers may consider alternate routes if congestion develops during peak overnight hours.
The affected stretch of I-65 is a key commuter and freight route in central Indiana, meaning even partial closures could impact travel efficiency across the region.
Commuters and night-shift workers traveling between Lafayette and Indianapolis may experience the most noticeable delays during the project period.
