I-69 Finish Line update

INDIANA – Another stoplight is on track to be removed for State Road 37 through traffic later this week. Crews are preparing to shift State Road 144 onto the new pavement and the bridge over future I-69 in Greenwood.

The new bridge and stoplight removal will change S.R. 144 access at S.R. 37. A southbound S.R. 37 exit ramp and a northbound S.R. 37 on-ramp will open for traffic.

Over the next few months, earth-moving crews will place and compact dirt where traffic is currently using S.R. 144. This will allow for the completion of the ramps south of the S.R. 144 bridge. Two movements will be detoured until the work is completed late this year. This involves northbound S.R. 37 access to S.R. 144 and S.R. 144 access to southbound S.R. 37.

The detour for heavy highway traffic follows northbound S.R. 37 to County Line Road, where drivers can loop through the interchange and reenter southbound S.R. 37. Another alternate route is Bluffdale Drive and Old S.R. 37 west of the future I-69. This can be accessed from the S.R. 37 signal at Fairview Road.
