Johnson County drivers can expect sustained traffic pattern changes on State Road 144, where the interchange will open near what is now State Road 37 this fall.
Last week, construction workers closed the north approach of Old State Road 37, also known as Waverly Road, and removed the traffic signal from the intersection, according to an Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) news release.
Additionally, construction crews shifted and restricted lanes of State Road 144 near Waverly Road. The traffic shift will narrow 10-foot lanes for interchange construction from the White River bridge to the Bluff Creek Parkway access road east of State Road 37. The change may cause delays, as left-turning traffic will block drivers going east on State Road 144 at Huggin Hollow Road and drivers going west on State Road 144 at Waverly Park Road, INDOT officials say.
INDOT is also reminding people keep campaign signs out of right-of-ways this election season.
