Boone County, IN – Drivers in Lebanon are moving more freely again today after a brief closure at a well-traveled intersection along Indianapolis Avenue. The Boone County Sheriff’s Office announced that the intersection at Indianapolis Avenue and Elm Street has officially reopened, restoring access for morning and midday commuters.
According to the Boone County Sheriff’s Office, deputies had temporarily shut down the intersection earlier today for undisclosed reasons. The closure prompted minor detours for drivers navigating the area near downtown Lebanon, one of the city’s busier corridors for both local traffic and commercial flow.
Officials did not specify the cause of the closure, though no injuries or extended disruptions were reported. Traffic is now moving normally in all directions, and law enforcement has cleared the scene.
The reopening brings relief to residents and workers who depend on Indianapolis Avenue as a primary connector across Boone County and toward the Lebanon business district. Drivers should still remain aware of any residual congestion as traffic normalizes.
Anyone traveling through the corridor this afternoon is encouraged to use caution and be mindful of deputies or road crews who may still be wrapping up work nearby.
