(INDIANAPOLIS) – The Indianapolis Department of Transportation is asking drivers to plan ahead for another full weekend of construction in Marion County.
Contractors will be working to repair winter damage and improve pavement conditions in five different zones around Indianapolis interstates.
Drivers are encourage to plan ahead this weekend and find alternate routes. In addition, they are reminded to pay attention, drive distraction free and slow down in work zones.
