Original story published Wednesday, August 28:

(Dearborn County, Ind.) - INDOT contractor John R. Jurgensen Company began work earlier this month on a $20.3 million asphalt resurface project on I-74 in Dearborn County.

Various lane closures have been in effect and will continue between S.R. 101 and the Ohio State line. Additional lane closures began today for patching operations in both east and westbound lanes.

New I-74 lane closures (beginning Wednesday, August 28, for approximately two weeks):

• EB left lane closed between MM 164.5 and MM 168.5
• WB left lane closed between MM 168.5 and MM 164.5

The existing left lane closure on eastbound I-74 from MM 156 to 160 should be lifted by tomorrow, August 29. The existing left lane closure on westbound I-74 from MM 160 to 156 will remain in place while crews finish patching work.

Travelers are urged to slow down and exercise caution in and near the work zone.

The first phase of the project is expected to be complete this fall. Milling and paving is scheduled to begin in July 2020.
