JOHNSON COUNTY, Ind. – The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) has issued a permit for a short-term closure on Interstate 65 this Saturday night, from Franklin to Columbus between mile markers 68 and 89.
Both directions of I-65 will temporarily close, for up to twenty minutes at a time, so fiber-optic connection work can be completed near County Road 1200S in Shelby County. The closures begin at approximately 9 p.m. Entrance ramps at S.R. 252 (Exit 80) and U.S. 31 (Exit 76) will also not be open during this period.
Indiana State Police and pilot vehicles will be on-site to assist with traffic. The INDOT work was originally planned for last Saturday evening but had to be rescheduled.
