Interstate 69 patching & paving

Milestone Contractors is patching existing southbound pavement north of Campus Parkway Exit 210.  The patching operation is expected to be complete this week.

About 15 miles of interstate is being repaired before a new asphalt overlay is paved on existing lanes.  Paving on northbound I-69  north of Exit 210 is scheduled to begin tonight.

Weather permitting, patching and paving operations require alternating lane closures in various locations six nights a week on Monday through Saturday nights from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.  One lane of I-69 will remain open at all times, and two lanes will remain open during peak daytime travel times.

The speed limit through the work zone is reduced to 60 mph and further reduced to 50 mph when workers are present.  Speed detection and LED display signs have been installed in the work zone to alert motorists driving at unsafe speeds.  Indiana State Police are patrolling the work zone to promote public safety and compliance with traffic laws.

Interstate 69 added travel lane

Milestone Contractors has set temporary concrete barrier along the I-69 median between State Road 37 (Exit 205) and Campus Parkway (Exit 210) to begin construction of an additional lane in each direction.

Northbound lanes have been shifted toward the right shoulder, and southbound traffic lanes are scheduled to be moved toward the right shoulder next week.  This will require single-lane closures between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.

Motorists should be alert for trucks entering and exiting the roadway.  Signs direct large trucks to use the left lane through the shifted section of interstate.  The speed limit is reduced to 60 mph and further reduced to 50 mph when workers are present.

Campus/Southeastern Parkway Exit 210

Construction of the new double-crossover diamond configuration is underway as Milestone builds up the new interchange ramps and widens the Campus Parkway bridge over I-69.

Campus Parkway traffic lanes are narrowed to 11 feet and installation of concrete barrier is scheduled for next week.

Motorists should be alert for workers in the area and trucks entering and exiting the roadway.

Later this summer, traffic will be shifted into a double-crossover diamond configuration, which is intended to improve traffic flow during the remainder of construction of the permanent interchange improvements.
