I-69 Major Moves 2020 construction update:
- Preparing for southbound traffic shift
- Starting construction of northbound added lane
- Widening Campus Parkway bridge
- Building new interchange ramps
- Patching continues north of Exit 210
- Paving set to begin north of Exit 210
Milestone Contractors has shifted northbound traffic, and is preparing to shift southbound traffic, toward the right-hand shoulders to allow space to build an additional lane in the median while maintaining two lanes in each direction.
Interstate 69 added travel lane
Milestone Contractors is setting temporary concrete barrier along southbound I-69 in preparation for a traffic shift scheduled for early August. Both southbound traffic lanes will be moved toward the right-hand shoulder to accommodate construction in the median of an additional lane between Campus/Southeastern Parkway (Exit 210) and 116th Street (Exit 205).
Northbound lanes in the same section have been shifted, and signs direct large trucks to use the left lane through the shifted section of interstate. The speed limit is reduced to 60 mph and further reduced to 50 mph when workers are present.
This week, as crews install concrete barrier along the interstate median, the left lane of southbound I-69 will be closed each night between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m.
For more information about I-69 traffic during construction, go to http://www.in.gov/indot/3446.htm.
The first phase of interchange construction will widen the bridge over I-69 and begin building the new ramps. Later this summer, traffic will be shifted into a double-crossover diamond configuration, which is intended to improve traffic flow during construction of the permanent interchange improvements.
Campus/Southeastern Parkway Exit 210
Construction of the new double-crossover diamond interchange configuration is underway as Milestone has narrowed Campus Parkway traffic lanes to 11 feet wide, is installing temporary concrete barrier at the interchange and is building up the new interchange ramps.
Motorists will notice an increase in construction activity at the interchange and should be alert for workers in the area and trucks entering and exiting the roadway.

Interstate 69 patching & paving
Milestone Contractors is patching existing northbound pavement north of Campus Parkway Exit 210. The patching operation will continue north past State Road 38 (Exit 219), before returning southbound on I-69 back to Exit 210 in August.
About 15 miles of interstate is being repaired before a new asphalt overlay is paved on existing lanes. Paving on northbound I-69 north of Exit 210 is scheduled to begin as early as next week. Motorists may temporarily experience rough pavement after sections are patched and before sections are paved.
Weather permitting, patching and paving operations require alternating lane closures six nights a week on Monday through Saturday nights from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. One lane of I-69 will remain open at all times, and two lanes will remain open during peak daytime travel times.
The speed limit through the work zone is reduced to 60 mph and further reduced to 50 mph when workers are present. Speed detection and LED display signs have been installed in the work zone to alert motorists driving at unsafe speeds. Indiana State Police are patrolling the work zone to promote public safety and compliance with traffic laws.
About the project
INDOT and the Indiana Finance Authority (IFA) selected a $92 million proposal from Milestone Contractors and United Consulting to add a travel lane and rehabilitate 15 miles of I-69 in Hamilton and Madison counties as part of Indiana’s Major Moves 2020 program.
More details about the project can be found at http://www.in.gov/indot/3440.htm. Construction is anticipated to be complete by the end of 2017. Updates about construction schedules will be announced as work progresses.
