Boone County, IN – Drivers traveling through central Indiana are facing significant delays today after authorities shut down multiple lanes on Interstate 65 following a crash in Boone County.
According to the Boone County Sheriff’s Office, lanes 1 and 2 of northbound I-65 are currently closed near State Road 146 due to an accident reported earlier today. Officials are urging motorists to use caution and avoid the area if possible as crews respond to the scene.
The closure is impacting traffic moving through Boone County, just northwest of the Indianapolis metro area, a heavily traveled corridor for commuters and commercial drivers. With two northbound lanes blocked, backups are expected to grow, especially during peak travel periods.
Authorities have not yet released details on injuries, the number of vehicles involved, or an estimated time for reopening. Drivers are advised to seek alternate routes and allow extra travel time if heading northbound on I-65 through the area.
Traffic conditions may change quickly as emergency responders and highway crews work to clear the scene. Additional updates are expected once the crash investigation progresses and lanes begin to reopen.
Motorists can monitor local traffic apps or official law enforcement social media channels for real-time updates.
