(BLOOMINGTON) - Crews will be putting in an extended day of work today before suspending all I-69 Section 5 construction activities for the Memorial Day weekend. No work will take place on Saturday, Sunday or Monday.
The entire work zone is still considered an active construction area, and some lane restrictions will be in place during that time. The speed limit remains 45 miles per hour for the entire work zone.
The single lane configuration in the northern section of the I-69 Section 5 work zone remains in place. Motorists are reminded to stay in their travel lane, and that the center lane is only for turns at specified locations.
Drivers are also reminded that some entrance points to SR 37 are in Yield configuration rather than the regular merge condition. Yield signs indicate that motorists should approach with caution, come to a complete stop if necessary and only continue onto the highway if the way is clear.
Motorists traveling between Indianapolis and Bloomington and wishing to avoid potential delays on SR 37 are encouraged to use the alternate routes of SR 135, I-65 or SR 67.
Even without construction activities, the 2nd Street and 3rd Street bridges continue to have lane restrictions and traffic may be heavy. Motorists are encouraged to use other east-west routes such as Fullerton Pike, Vernal Pike and SR 46.
