HENDRICKS COUNTY, Ind. – The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announces there will be overnight ramp closures on I-74 in Hendricks County beginning next week, Monday, September 24, weather permitting.  The contractor plans to begin in the westbound lanes.  Please note the closures will not begin until 9 p.m. and will reopen by 6 a.m.

Dynamic message boards will be utilized during these closures to alert motorists of the exact ramp being paved.

This project was awarded to Rieth-Riley Construction for $11.2 million. This project will resurface I-74 from approximately five miles east of State Road 32 or the 44 mile marker to just east of the Lizton Exit 58 and overlay six bridges.
