I-69 Construction Starts, Will Last into 2016

A long-term con­struc­tion project on Inter­state 69 is set to kick off today, weather per­mit­ting, in DeKalb County. The work will con­struct two new bridges just south of Route 8 between exits 326 and 329, start­ing on the south­bound side with asphalt work in prepa­ra­tion for a traf­fic pat­tern shift. That bridge will go up first, then crews will switch to the north­bound side some­time this win­ter. The project is expected to last well into next year.
