Project to obtain core samples on I-65 rescheduled

Core sampling along Interstate 65, between U.S. Highway 50 and State Road 58 in Bartholomew and Jackson counties, has been rescheduled for Friday night. The Indiana Department of Transportation says that Milestone Constructors had originally planned to extract cores of pavement samples last week, but those plans were delayed due to bad weather.

INDOT is urging drivers to be alert and to watch for coring crews and equipment along northbound I-65. Officials explain that the work will occur along the outside shoulder of the northbound lanes of the interstate between Seymour and the Walesboro exit. The work is now scheduled to take place from 9 p.m. Friday to 6 a.m. Saturday. INDOT adds that the northbound right lane of I-65 will be closed while this work is underway.
