Lane closures begin Friday on I-65 in Clark County for grinding work

CLARK COUNTY, Ind.— Indiana Department of Transportation contractor E&B Paving Inc. plans to close lanes of I-65 starting Friday, Dec. 11, to complete diamond grinding in Clark County. Work is scheduled as follows at various locations between Sellersburg and Memphis (MM 9 to MM 16), weather permitting:

Dec. 11 and 12 (Friday and Saturday): Right lane of I-65 NB closed from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Dec. 12 to Dec. 21* (Saturday to Monday): Far left lane of I-SB closed for 24 hours at a time
Dec. 14 to Dec. 21* (Monday to Monday): Middle lane of I-65 SB closed from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
*no work scheduled Sunday, Dec. 20

Diamond grinding consists of removing a thin layer of pavement at the surface of the roadway using diamond saw blades. The practice is used to level surfaces and produces saw-cut grooves that improve smoothness, road noise and drainage.

Motorists are reminded to slow down, use extra caution and drive distraction-free through work zones. Delays are expected, especially during peak travel times. All work is weather dependent and schedules are subject to change.
