Mullinix Road to close Monday for roundabout project

Drivers on Mullinix Road will need to take a detour east of State Road 37 next week as construction crews complete a roundabout at Smith Valley Road and Mullinix Road.

The closure of Mullinix Road between Smith Valley Road and Olive Branch Road will begin after the morning rush hour on or after Monday, and traffic will be blocked off for about two months. During construction, drivers can follow a detour on Smith Valley Road, Morgantown Road and Olive Branch Road, according to a construction update from the Indiana Department of Transportation.

The roundabout is a part of the construction on an interchange at Smith Valley Road and State Road 37, which will become Interstate 69. The interchange will be completed in phases over the summer, with the overpass bridge and southbound and northbound ramps gradually opening to drivers, INDOT officials say.

The most current information about closures and restrictions can be found at 511in.org or INDOT’s TrafficWise app.
