INDOT schedules work on I-65 between Seymour and Columbus

Indiana Department of Transportation’s contractor for constructing six lanes of Interstate 65 in Bartholomew and Jackson counties has scheduled crews to repair potholes and replace damaged guardrail. INDOT says that E&B Paving is the contractor for the $143 million project between U.S. Highway 50 at Seymour and State Road 58, just south of Columbus. Crews are slated to perform maintenance operations on the northbound and southbound lanes of I-65 between mile markers 49.1 and 67.1 Thursday and Friday.

INDOT says that you may experience single-lane restrictions where crews are working during overnight hours from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. Some shoulder and median work, which will not require lane closures, will be done during daytime hours.

Actual construction for the I-65 six-lane project is expected to begin next spring.
