Be ready for possible traffic delays on Interstate 65 in Johnson County, beginning Thursday night. The Indiana Department of Transportation says that round-the-clock work on a full-depth pavement replacement project with added travel lanes will last through May 25th. INDOT says that single lanes will close during daytime hours, while double lanes will close at night.

Milestone is slated to begin work Thursday night prepping southbound I-65 lanes between Whiteland Road and State Road 44/Franklin. The schedule is as follows:

• 3 p.m. — SB I-65 left lane closes between mile markers 95.0 and 88.5
• 8 p.m. — SB I-65 middle lane closes between mile markers 94.5 and 88.5; left lane remains closed
• 6 a.m. — SB I-65 middle lane reopens; left lane remains closed

INDOT says that work on both the northbound and southbound lanes will begin on Saturday. In addition, double lane restrictions begin on northbound I-65 Saturday night. A single northbound lane will remain closed during daytime hours.

This work is dependent on the weather.
