(ALLEN CO.) - The Indiana Department of Transportation announces that bridge maintenance will result in lane restrictions on I-69 northbound near exit 309, in the City of Fort Wayne.
On Friday, Sept. 21, the right lane of I-69 northbound will be restricted between the hours of 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. to allow contractors to place the temporary concrete barrier wall. Beginning, Saturday, Sept. 22, the right shoulder of I-69 northbound will be closed while contractors perform bridge maintenance on the U.S. 30/U.S. 33 bridge over I-69.
During the day, drivers should watch for stopped traffic and trucks entering and exiting the work zone. INDOT reminds drivers to use caution and consider worker safety when driving through any active construction zone.
The northbound shoulder closure will remain in place until mid-October, weather permitting, when contractors switch to the southbound side of the interstate. All shoulder restrictions on I-69 are expected to remain through early November, weather permitting. The contract was awarded to R.L. McCoy for $1.2 million and includes the repair of various structures and roadways throughout the Fort Wayne District.
