INDOT to Close Portion of U.S. 6 for Construction

INDOT has announced the closure of U.S. 6 between U.S. 31 and Lilac Road beginning June 3 to ensure driver safety while crews work on the U.S. 31/U.S. 6 interchange as part of the new U.S. 31 project. The road closure is expected to last through early September 2013.
