FRANKLIN/EDINBURGH, Ind. – The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) says southbound I-65 will be reduced to one lane between Franklin (Exit 90) and Edinburgh (Exit 80) starting Monday, July 8, for nighttime milling/paving operations in Johnson and Shelby Counties.
Work will begin in the southbound driving lane at Exit 90 in Franklin and continue south to Exit 80, near Edinburgh. After the southbound driving lane is complete, crews will reduce northbound I-65 to one lane to begin nighttime maintenance on the driving lane.
When the driving lanes are finished, crews will transition to the passing lanes of I-65, beginning with southbound work and finishing with the northbound lane.
The nighttime lane closures, from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m., will take up to eight weeks, weather permitting.
INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, use caution, and avoid distractions near work zones.
