Indianapolis, IN – Drivers using I-65 in west central Indiana should expect delays tonight as road crews begin overnight repair work on a key stretch of the interstate. INDOT says the left southbound lane over Little Potato Creek will be patched this evening and continue into Thursday morning, creating temporary lane closures and slower travel.
According to the Indiana Department of Transportation, maintenance crews will begin the project later tonight as part of routine roadway upkeep. The lane closure will allow workers to safely address pavement issues on the southbound side of the bridge area, located between mile markers commonly used by commuters and truck traffic traveling between Indianapolis and Lafayette.
The work is scheduled to last into tomorrow morning, and INDOT says drivers should be prepared for reduced speeds, flagging operations, and possible congestion during peak early-morning drive times. Officials are urging motorists to use caution, remain alert for workers and shifting traffic patterns, and consider adjusting travel schedules if possible.
No full interstate shutdown is expected, but the temporary lane restrictions may cause delays for both local and long-distance travelers heading southbound through the region.
This is a developing traffic advisory. INDOT will provide updates if timing or work conditions change.
