Interstate 74 guardrail work set overnight next week

Night-time drivers on Interstate 74 in Decatur County could see some traffic tie-ups starting next week.

According to the Indiana Department of Transportation, contractors will be working in the evening Monday and early Tuesday morning to install guardrails east and west of State Road 3. The work will require closing the right lane of eastbound I-74 about four miles east of State Road 3 on Monday night and the right westbound lane four miles west of State Road 3 early Tuesday morning. The work in the eastbound lanes is expected to be going on from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. and in the westbound lanes from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. in the morning Tuesday.

The work schedule is dependent on the weather.

The contractor for the project is Midwestern Electric.

INDOT urges you to slow down, to drive without distractions, to use extra caution and to be alert to worker safety in all work zones.
