Looking ahead to the 2023 construction season
Projects as complex as I-69 Finish Line don’t have much down time. Even during winter months crews are busy moving earth, driving piles for bridges, relocating utilities and filling potholes. But the pace and volume of activity will pick up in March when temperatures start to moderate and asphalt plants reopen after winter maintenance.
The 2023 I-69 Finish Line Construction Guide provides an overview of work crews will undertake and milestones that will be reached this construction season. Please read through both pages to get an overall feel for which roadway segments and interchanges will be under active construction this year.
And while the Construction Guide provides a general outline of what will be built, the best way to stay on top of when and where things are happening, especially those that will impact traffic, is through the project’s social media channels on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
