Boone County, IN – Two southbound lanes of Interstate 65 are shut down near the 129-mile marker in Boone County following an accident Monday morning, authorities confirmed.
According to the Boone County Sheriff’s Office, lanes 1 and 2 of I-65 southbound are currently closed as emergency crews respond to the scene. The department urged drivers to use caution and avoid the area while cleanup and investigation continue.
Officials did not immediately release details on injuries or the number of vehicles involved. The closure is causing delays in the area south of Lebanon, with traffic backing up for several miles as of late morning.
Drivers traveling toward Indianapolis are advised to seek alternate routes, such as U.S. 52 or State Road 39, until the interstate fully reopens.
