Boone County, IN – Drivers traveling through Boone County saw improved traffic flow this morning after authorities confirmed that lanes on Interstate 65 have reopened following a brief disruption near a key interchange.
According to the Boone County Sheriff’s Office, lanes 1 and 2 of I-65 in the area of State Road 146 northbound are now back open. The update was shared publicly by the sheriff’s office just minutes after the lanes were cleared, signaling an end to earlier slowdowns in the area.
While officials did not immediately release details on what caused the temporary lane impacts, the reopening is expected to ease congestion for northbound commuters traveling between Lebanon, Whitestown, and the greater Indianapolis metro area. Traffic delays are expected to gradually clear as vehicles redistribute through the reopened lanes.
Interstate 65 is a major north-south corridor through Indiana, frequently used by commuters, commercial traffic, and travelers heading toward Indianapolis and northwest Indiana. Even short-term lane disruptions in Boone County can cause backups during peak travel hours.
Drivers are still encouraged to remain cautious while traveling through the area, as residual congestion or emergency vehicles may still be present near the SR-146 interchange. Motorists should also watch for sudden slowdowns and follow any remaining traffic control devices.
Officials have not indicated whether further closures or restrictions are expected at this time. Updates will be shared if conditions change.
