Montgomery County, IN – Drivers in west-central Indiana are facing major delays today after a crash shut down all lanes of U.S. 231 in Montgomery County. The closure affects both northbound and southbound traffic between County Road 500 South and County Road 700 South, creating significant disruptions for commuters and regional travel.
According to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), the incident occurred earlier today, prompting an immediate full shutdown of the highway as emergency crews respond to the crash and assess roadway conditions. INDOT is urging drivers to avoid the area and seek alternate routes until further notice.
The closure impacts travelers moving between communities south of Crawfordsville as well as those heading toward neighboring counties. No estimated reopening time has been provided, and INDOT has not yet released additional details on the number of vehicles involved or whether any injuries have been reported.
Motorists are encouraged to monitor INDOT’s official traffic alerts and use real-time navigation apps for detour guidance. Heavy congestion is likely on surrounding county roads as drivers reroute around the U.S. 231 shutdown.
Drivers who were in the area this morning or afternoon are invited to share how much time the detour added to their drive.
