Plainfield, IN – Drivers in Hendricks County should expect delays this weekend as U.S. 40 will close on both Saturday and Sunday for the annual Plainfield Quaker Day Festival events.
According to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), the first closure takes place Saturday, September 20, for the Quaker Day Parade. U.S. 40 will be shut down between Vestal Road and Meijer Drive, with detours routed via Moon Road to Hadley Road to State Road 267.
On Sunday, September 21, closures will return for the Back Your Badge Marathon. U.S. 40 will be closed between Vandalia Boulevard and Carr Road. INDOT reports the roadway will reopen later in the evening once the event concludes.
Officials advise drivers to plan ahead, expect extra travel time, and use marked detours to avoid congestion. Both closures are expected to impact local traffic flow significantly, especially near downtown Plainfield and surrounding neighborhoods.
The Quaker Day Festival is a longstanding community celebration featuring parades, races, and family activities, drawing residents and visitors across Hendricks County and the greater Indianapolis area.
