Beginning at 9:00 AM on Tuesday morning, the ramp lanes from westbound Interstate 64 to Interstate 255 will be reduced to one lane.

In addition to the above closure, more closures are planned for the eastbound Interstate 64 to Interstate 255 ramps as well as the eastbound lanes and westbound lanes of Interstate 64 east of the Interstate 255 interchange. More details of these closures will be announced as they get closer.
Delays are expected. Motorists are urged to reduce speed, obey all traffic control signage, allow extra time and use caution while driving through and near the work zone.
The contractor on this project is Venus Painting Company of Valparaiso, Indiana.
