Indiana Department of Transportation’s contractor for constructing six lanes of Interstate 65 in Bartholomew and Jackson counties has scheduled crews to repair potholes and replace damaged guardrail in advance of winter weather.

E&B Paving, INDOT’s contractor for the $143 million Next Level project between U.S. 50 in Seymour and State Road 58 south of Columbus, will perform maintenance operations on I-65 — both northbound and southbound— between mile markers 49.1 and 67.1 today and Friday.

Motorists may experience single-lane restrictions where crews are working during overnight hours from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. Some shoulder and median work — not requiring lane closures — will be done during daytime hours.

Actual construction for the I-65 six-lane project is expected to begin in the spring.
