Commiskey Pike to close over I-65 in Jackson County

JACKSON CO. — Indiana Department of Transportation contractor E&B Paving, Inc. is scheduled to close Commiskey Pike (East County Road 50 North) over I-65 on or after Tuesday, April 9, to complete a bridge deck overlay in Jackson County.

The closure will occur east of US 31 and is expected to take up to 11 weeks, weather permitting.

Crews will perform clearing work and begin placing signage in the area prior to the start of construction. During the closure, motorists should use the official detour route, which follows US 31 to North County Road 1240 East.

This project is part of a contract awarded to E&B Paving in October 2023. INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, be cautious, and avoid distractions when traveling near work zones. All work is weather-dependent, and schedules are subject to change.
