Rensselaer, IN – Drivers in Jasper County should prepare for overnight ramp closures on Interstate 65 at State Road 14 (mile marker 220) beginning Thursday night as part of ongoing pavement work in the area.
According to the Indiana Department of Transportation, closures will take place for approximately five nights, starting on or after Thursday, Aug. 21. The work schedule is weather dependent, but milling is currently set for overnight Aug. 21, with resurfacing from Aug. 22 through Aug. 25.
Only one ramp will be closed at a time, with crews reopening it after milling before closing again for resurfacing. Work will be conducted overnight from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. to reduce traffic disruption. The project covers I-65 between mile markers 217 and 223 — from State Road 10 to State Road 114 — and includes lane restrictions on I-65 during nighttime hours through mid-October.
Drivers are urged to slow down, follow posted signs, and remain alert near crews working along the highway. Detour routes will be posted where applicable, and INDOT reminds motorists to allow extra travel time.
The ramp improvements are part of a larger resurfacing and safety enhancement project along this section of I-65, aimed at improving driving conditions for both local and through traffic.
