INDOT Encourages Safe Travel During The Upcoming Labor Day Holiday Weekend
INDIANA — The Indiana Department of Transportation reminds motorists that the Labor Day holiday weekend is typically one of the busiest times for travel on Indiana’s highways. Motorists should expect heavier than normal traffic beginning Friday through Monday evening. INDOT reminds Hoosiers to travel safely and plan for more driving time during this very busy weekend.
INDOT announces a road work moratorium for the Labor Day weekend beginning Friday afternoon, September 1 until the morning hours of Tuesday, September 5. Wherever possible, road restrictions will be removed to ease traffic flow for holiday drivers. Some closures and restrictions will remain on larger projects that cannot safely reopen to traffic. Here’s where you will see restrictions remaining over the holiday weekend.
