Work on the project is expected to be complete by the end of May. All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.<\/p>\n<p>During the closure, eastbound traffic needing to access S.R. 1\/Bluffton Road should continue east on I-469 to the Exit 9 interchange with Winchester Road, exit the interstate and re-enter heading west to then exit at westbound Exit 6. Drivers may also seek an alternative route.<\/p>\n<p>INDOT encourages drivers to consider safety for all by slowing down, using extra caution and driving distraction-free when travelling in and around all work zones.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Indiana Department of Transportation<\/strong><br \/>\nINDOT is responsible for planning, constructing, maintaining, and operating the State of Indiana\u2019s more than 29,000 highway lane miles and 5,700 bridges, and providing support for 4,500 rail miles and 127 aviation facilities throughout the Hoosier State.
