\nA project to rehabilitate and resurface a section of Interstate 65 in both directions in Simpson and Warren Counties is expected to begin on Monday, April 5.<\/p>\n
The project will address the pavement issues from near the 13 mile marker in Simpson County to near the 25 mile marker in Warren County.<\/p>\n
Crews are out this week putting up signs and other traffic control devices.<\/p>\n
The disjointed pavement, which is responsible for the poor ride quality in this section of I-65, will be rehabilitated and resurfaced. <\/p>\n
The project will also address repairing any issues with the shoulders of the roadway and drainage repairs in the median.<\/p>\n
During the construction process, I-65 will be reduced to two lanes during certain periods of the project as well as down to one lane in other periods.<\/p>\n
The shoulder will be utilized as a travel lane. <\/p>\n
These lane closures are expected to cause delays with heavy congestion at some points. <\/p>\n
Motorists are advised to slow down and pay attention when approaching the construction zone.<\/p>\n
The speed limit will be reduced in this section to 55 mph.<\/p>\n
Slowed or stopped traffic should be expected, especially during the phases when the road is reduced to one lane.<\/p>\n
The project is expected to be completed by early winter. <\/p>\n
The contract was awarded to Scotty\u2019s Contracting & Stone LLC on November 20, 2020 in the amount $8,185,325.
