FORT WAYNE, IN — The Indiana Department of Transportation says there will be lane closures on Interstate 69 next week as work for an interchange modification project continues in northern Allen County.

Starting Monday, May 16th, the left lanes of I-69 in both directions at mile 312, near Coldwater Road, will be closed in both directions under the bridge for three to four weeks.

Following that closure, the right lanes of I-69 in both directions will be closed for approximately three to four weeks.

There will be a work zone speed limit of 55 mph in place.

All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.

Work on the $9.7 million project began in March and is expected to last until November.

INDOT reminds drivers to consider worker safety and slow down, use extra caution and drive distraction-free when travelling in and around all work zones.
