INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Department of Transportation is encouraging drivers to plan ahead for a weekend full of construction.
INDOT crews and contractors will be out in five different locations around Indianapolis interstates this weekend to repair winter damage, extend the life span of bridges and pavement and complete maintenance tasks.
Drivers are encouraged to plan their routes ahead of time and use local routes when they can. In construction zones, please slow down and don’t drive distracted. Drivers are also reminded to add extra time to get to weekend destinations.
Indiana State Police and the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department will be patrolling work zones and ticketing drivers for speeding and reckless/distracted driving. INDOT crews and Hoosier Helpers will be present on the interstates to make sure drivers are aware of slowing traffic and upcoming work zones.
Construction work is weather dependent in some cases.
