Boone County, IN – Drivers in Boone County are being advised to plan alternate routes today after officials announced a full road shutdown on a key north–south corridor due to construction activity.
According to the Boone County Sheriff’s Office, North 200 East is completely shut down between East 75 North and East 150 North as crews work in the area. The closure was announced Wednesday and is effective immediately, with no estimated reopening time provided.
The affected stretch of N 200 E runs through a rural portion of Boone County, northeast of Lebanon, and is commonly used by local residents, farm traffic, and drivers commuting between county roads and nearby state routes. Motorists traveling through the area may encounter barricades, construction equipment, and increased local detours.
Officials are urging drivers to avoid the area if possible, slow down near work zones, and follow posted signage. While no injuries or incidents have been reported, sudden closures can cause confusion and delays, particularly for drivers unfamiliar with alternate routes.
At this time, authorities have not said whether the closure will last multiple days or if access will be restored later this week. Residents who rely on N 200 E for daily travel are encouraged to monitor official updates from the Boone County Sheriff’s Office and local highway departments.
Drivers heading through Boone County, especially those traveling between Lebanon, nearby townships, and surrounding rural areas, should allow extra travel time and remain alert for additional construction-related changes.
