Word from Indiana: Watch for road work, basketball fans!

From Chris Jessie, KTC, District 4, Elizabethtown, KY
Story by Will WIngfield and Harry Maginity, Indiana Highway Department

SOUTHEAST INDIANA - Don't get caught traveling! Basketball fans driving to see the universities of Kentucky, Louisville, and Tennessee play in the Sweet Sixteen in Indianapolis should be aware of road construction.

Construction crews are going into overtime, rebuilding and rehabilitating portions of the Interstate 65 corridor near the Ohio River border at Louisville and between Uniontown (Exit 41) and Seymour (Exit 50). Construction crews are pulling back barrels and barricades this weekend to the greatest extent possible, but basketball fans should plan extra time where speed limits are reduced.

In addition, the U.S. 421 Ohio River bridge between Madison, IN, and Milton, KY, is closed for construction. Alternate routes include the Locks and Dam Bridge near Markland, IN, or interstate bridges in the Cincinnati area.

Up-to-the-minute information on road construction and closures is available at http://indot.carsprogram.org or 800-261-7623. Drivers who commit lane violations or charge and elbow their way into traffic are subject to increased work zone fines. Drivers are encouraged to know the three-second rule: allow three seconds following distance between the vehicle in front of you.
