Drivers should expect traffic delays on State Road 37 and State Road 39 near Martinsville next week.
The right lane of northbound S.R. 37 will be closed Monday between the Liberty Church Road and S.R. 39 exits.
Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) contractors are rebuilding the S.R. 37 southbound lanes from S.R. 39 to the south end of the I-69 Finish Line project, including the southbound S.R. 37 bridge over Indian Creek. The work will reduce S.R. 37 to two lanes – one in each direction – during much of 2020.
Drivers should also expect 1-2 days of temporary S.R. 37 lane closures at two locations.
- A crew will be placing temporary concrete barriers and begin building a bridge over S.R. 37 to connect Egbert Road with nearby Old S.R. 37 in northern Morgan County.
- A separate bridge crew will be delivering material and working over S.R. 37 lanes at the Grand Valley Boulevard overpass near Walmart in Martinsville.
INDOT says this project will upgrade the existing S.R. 37 to interstate standards between Martinsville and Indianapolis. The department says the I-69 Finish Line is the sixth and final section of the Interstate 69 connection between Evansville and Indianapolis.
