(BARTHOLOMEW CO.) - Indiana Department of Transportations’ contractor for its $143 million Next Level Roads project on Interstate 65 in Bartholomew and Jackson Counties will begin surface paving operations on the 4-lane asphalt section Sunday night (SEPT 30), weather permitting.
Motorists should expect to encounter E & B Paving crews and equipment in single lanes on I-65 between mile marker 64.5 near the Walesboro exit and State Road 46 ramps at Columbus during overnight hours for three successive weeks. INDOT officials say asphalt paving will occur between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. every night Sunday through Friday--beginning in the northbound left lane:
Between U.S. Highway 50 and S.R. 58 at Walesboro, work is ongoing to completely reconstruct and reconfigure I-65 as a 6-lane concrete roadway. Twenty-seven bridges are being reworked along the entire 17-mile-long project site - from mile marker 50.0 to mile marker 67.0. 2018 operations focus on building the north 1/3 phase of project limits and bridges at White River.
