The Indiana Department of Transportation will provide limited access to sections of the nearly completed Interstate 69 corridor for celebratory Community Day events in October. This is the first time INDOT has allowed public access of this nature on an interstate highway under construction and community leaders plan to take advantage of this special opportunity before the new corridor opens later this year.

Community Day events on the interstate will take place on Saturday, Oct. 20 at five locations along the 67-mile stretch of the I-69 corridor including Pike and Gibson Counties. Each location will feature a variety of family friendly activities being planned by local organizing committees.

Work continues on the State Road 64 (S.R. 64) structure replacement project on Princeton’s east side.  S.R. 64 will again close to through traffic; however  local traffic will have access to the point of closure, 0.40 miles east of the S.R. 65 east junction.

The upcoming closure is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, September 19 and will be closed for ten (10) days.  Once the structure is complete, the traffic signals will be removed and crews will begin paving the area.  Traffic will be controlled by a flag person during this part of construction.

Traffic on State Road 57 (S.R. 57) in Pike County will be stopped at various points today and Tuesday.

Traffic will be stopped intermittently where Interstate 69 intersects with S.R. 57, approximately 4.0 miles north of S.R. 64 in Oakland City.  Multiple stoppages will take place, none lasting more than 15 minutes between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. local time, each day.
