Boone County, IN – Drivers traveling northbound on Interstate 65 through Boone County are facing traffic disruptions today after fire activity forced the closure of a travel lane near Lebanon.
According to the Boone County Sheriff’s Office, Lane 2 of I-65 northbound is shut down near mile marker 128.9 due to active fire conditions in the area. Authorities issued the alert just moments ago and are urging motorists to use caution or avoid the area altogether if possible.
The affected stretch of I-65 runs through Boone County, just south of Lebanon, and serves as a major corridor between the Indianapolis metro area and north-central Indiana. With one lane closed, drivers should expect slower speeds and potential backups, especially during peak travel periods.
Officials have not yet released an estimated time for when the lane will reopen. Emergency crews are reportedly working in the area, and traffic conditions may change quickly depending on how the fire situation develops.
Motorists are advised to monitor traffic apps, local alerts, or law enforcement updates before heading out. Alternate routes may help drivers avoid delays, particularly for those commuting through Boone County or traveling longer distances along I-65.
No injuries have been reported at this time, and the cause of the fire activity has not yet been disclosed.
