Washington, IN – Drivers on I-69 in southwestern Indiana should prepare for alternating lane closures starting this week as the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) begins critical bridge maintenance work near Washington.
According to the Indiana State Police Jasper Post, beginning on or around Monday, June 30, crews will implement alternating lane closures on I-69 in Daviess County. The work will be split into two segments—first over the bridge at the interchange of U.S. 50 and I-69, and second between mile markers 64 and 66.
INDOT officials stated the closures will allow for a bridge deck overlay as part of a preventative maintenance project. The work is expected to take approximately three weeks to complete, though timing may vary depending on weather conditions.
Closures will impact both northbound and southbound lanes. However, INDOT confirmed that at least one lane in each direction will remain open throughout the work period. Motorists are advised to plan ahead, reduce speed in work zones, and stay alert for changing traffic patterns.
The project is part of INDOT’s broader initiative to maintain infrastructure safety and extend the life of critical transportation assets throughout Indiana.
