INDIANAPOLIS — Milestone Contractors plans to begin work on a $4.2 million pavement repair and resurface project on I-74 between I-465 and London Road (Exit 103).
Crews plan alternating lane closures on eastbound and westbound I-74 between I-465 and London Road (Exit 103) starting at 9 p.m. on Wednesday until 6 a.m. on Thursday.
Starting at 9 p.m. on Thursday, crews plan to close the left lanes of eastbound and westbound I-74 to saw-cut areas of concrete pavement to be removed and replaced this weekend, weather permitting. Eastbound lane closures will start at I-465 on the southeast side of Indianapolis, and westbound lane closures will start at the London Road interchange. This traffic restriction is expected to end by 6 a.m. on Friday.
The same left lane closures will resume at 9 p.m. on Friday and will continue through the weekend until 6 a.m. on Monday, April 10. Concrete pavement repairs will require weekend lane closures starting at 9 p.m. on Fridays until 6 a.m. on Mondays for approximately one month.
Weather permitting, asphalt patching and paving is scheduled to begin in May and will require overnight lane closures between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. through the summer. Afterward, new lane markings, reflective pavement markers and shoulder corrugations will be installed.
The nine-mile project on I-74 southeast of Indianapolis is expected to be complete before October.
