Motorists traveling on and entering northbound State Road 37 from State Road 144 should be aware of traffic shifts that will be in place beginning Friday morning.
Northbound State Road 37 traffic will be shifted onto new pavement in a single-lane configuration starting at Banta Road and carrying through to Olive Branch Road. All northbound traffic will be in the right lane for this entire stretch, allowing crews to work in the median and on the inside shoulders, according to an Indiana Department of Transportation traffic alert.
Because northbound traffic is in the right lane, traffic entering from the State Road 144 northbound on-ramp will merge into an active traffic lane. Both through and merging traffic should exercise caution at the merge point, INDOT says.
Signage indicating the single-lane traffic and the merge point will be placed on State 37 and at the top of the northbound entrance ramp. Motorists are strongly encouraged to slow down, follow the posted 45 mph speed limit, and be aware of changing traffic conditions, according to INDOT.
