I-65 Ramp Closures At Memphis Road
The Indiana Department of Transportation plans to close Interstate 65’s northbound off-ramp and southbound on-ramp at Memphis Road for pavement reconstruction as part of the state’s $67 million added travel lanes project between Exit 9 at Sellersburg and Exit 16 at Memphis Road.
Closures are slated to occur—weather permitting—from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. this Friday and Saturday (SEPT 28 & 29). The following weekend (OCT 5 & 6), INDOT plans to close I-65’s northbound on-ramp and southbound off-ramp for reconstruction.
During these closures, contractor E & B Paving will mill and resurface the asphalt ramps, place pavement lines and reflective markers, and add stone along shoulder areas. The ramp’s existing concrete base will be repaired where needed.
Indiana has rebuilt I-65 in Clark County from a pavement break one mile north of S.R. 60 to a terminus 2.8 miles south of S.R. 160. Travel lanes have been added in the median area to create a 6-lane highway. Bridge superstructures at Memphis Road, Perry Crossing, Muddy Fork and Old S.R. 311 were widened and rebuilt.
Road Closure Scheduled for SR 145 near French Lick
The Indiana Department of Transportation announces a road closure on State Road 145 for a structure replacement project.
Beginning on or around Monday, Oct. 1, contractors will close S.R. 145 about 1 mile south of the intersection of S.R. 56. Workers will be excavating and then replacing a drainage structure.
The work is expected to last until early November, depending upon weather conditions.
During this operation, the road will be closed around the clock. Local traffic will have access up to the point of closure.
All through traffic should use the official detour using S.R 56, S.R. 545 and S.R.164.
INDOT urges drivers to slow down and stay alert near crews
