Road Project In Hamilton Co. Beginning As Another Ends

Transportation officials say a highway construction project south of Indianapolis is winding down just as another massive project north of the city is beginning.

Indiana Department of Transportation spokesman Harry Maginity tells the Indianapolis Star that crews have been working some 24-hour days to finish work on the $84 million lane widening of I-65 between Greenwood and Franklin by the fall.

The project has caused several travel delays since April 2015.

Meanwhile, a $92 million project to add lanes to 15 miles of I-69 in Hamilton County is starting.

INDOT spokesman Nathan Riggs says workers shifted traffic over to the shoulder for three miles in the northbound lanes.
