The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) says motorists driving around the 106th Street construction area on I-69 in Fishers should be on the lookout for overnight lane closures beginning July 5th.  This wave of closures is expected to last about 2 weeks.

See the details below in a statement from INDOT:

=====================================

Walsh Construction Company plans to close lanes of northbound Interstate 69 next week between 82nd Street (Exit 201) and 116th Street (Exit 205) for construction of the new 106th Street interchange.

Crews are building two new bridges over I-69, one for each direction of traffic on 106th Street, and will be forming and pouring concrete piers in the interstate median.  Multiple left lane closures should be expected over the next two weeks.  The following schedule is subject to change and will be updated as work progresses:

• Tuesday, July 5 – northbound I-69 will have three left lanes closed from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.
• Wednesday, July 6 – northbound I-69 will have three left lanes closed from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.
• Friday, July 8 – northbound I-69 will have one left lane closed from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.

The speed limit near the construction zone at mile marker 204 is reduced to 55 mph and may be reduced further to 45 mph when workers are present.  Motorists are advised to pay attention to work zone warning signs, follow posted speed limits and keep a safe following distance from other motorists.
