INDOT to begin I-74 construction in Decatur County

(BATESVILLE, Ind.) – Drivers can expect additional delays on I-74 in Decatur County beginning in late April. 

The Indiana Department of Transportation will begin a construction project between County Road 420 and the St. Paul exit. 

The construction will include bridge deck overlays, asphalt resurfacing and drainage improvements. 

Drivers can expect the following restrictions on I-74 between mile markers 122 and 128 through early July, weather permitting:

• Eastbound I-74 traffic will be reduced to one lane and shifted to the right lane of eastbound I-74

• Westbound I-74 traffic will be reduced to one lane and shifted to the left lane of eastbound I-74

• All westbound I-74 lanes will be closed (traffic shifted to eastbound I-74)

• The construction speed limit will be 55 mph

This work is part of a $74.4 million interstate improvement contract awarded to John R. Jurgensen Company in January.
