Boone County, IN – Drivers traveling through Boone County are facing delays today after a crash shut down part of Interstate 65 northbound, impacting a key stretch of the highway during active travel hours.
According to the Boone County Sheriff’s Office, the right lane of I-65 northbound is closed near the 140 mile marker due to an accident reported earlier today. Officials say traffic is backing up in the area as crews respond and work to manage the scene.
The closure affects a heavily traveled corridor connecting Boone County with the greater Indianapolis metro area and central Indiana. Motorists heading northbound are urged to slow down, remain alert for emergency responders, and consider alternate routes if possible.
Authorities have not released details about injuries or how many vehicles were involved. It is also unclear how long the lane closure will remain in place. Drivers should expect intermittent delays as traffic is reduced to fewer lanes near the crash site.
The Boone County Sheriff’s Office advised drivers to use caution and avoid the area if possible, especially during peak travel times. Additional updates are expected as the situation develops and cleanup efforts continue.
Traffic conditions may change quickly, and motorists are encouraged to monitor local alerts, navigation apps, or official law enforcement updates before heading out.
