Construction Season Officially Opens

The Indiana Department of Transportation officially marked the start of its 2024 construction season and emphasized the critical importance of work zone safety as construction and road maintenance projects begin across the state.

INDOT will deliver just over 1,000 construction projects in 2024. When combined with preventative maintenance, the state is investing more than $2.8 billion in infrastructure improvements.

To prepare for construction season, Indiana drivers are encouraged to “Know Before You Go” by visiting 511in.org or downloading INDOT’s TrafficWise app to see real-time traffic conditions and construction project updates. Drivers can also view upcoming projects on INDOT’s Next Level Roads Map. To report a roadway concern, visit indot4u.com.

Through April 19, INDOT is recognizing National Work Zone Awareness Week. Drivers are reminded to slow down, buckle up and avoid distractions as they travel this construction and road maintenance season.
