The Indiana Department of Transportation announces traffic pattern changes will occur next week on State Road 28. The right turn lane from State Road 39 southbound to S.R. 28 westbound will close on Monday, March 21 through June 18. The left turn lane on S.R. 39 northbound to S.R. 28 westbound will close Thursday, March 24 through the end of the day on Saturday, March 26. This is for construction work in the intersection.

The eastbound lanes of S.R. 28 remain closed between McKinley and Jackson Streets. The official detour follows I-65 to S.R. 47 to S.R. 39 and back.  Westbound traffic on S.R. 28 remains open.

The completion date for this project is mid-November of this year.
