Newburgh, IN — Drivers traveling along IN‑66 near Bell Road should expect continued delays as lane restrictions remain in place for ongoing utility and roadway improvement work. The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) says the project will continue through late May 2026, depending on weather and work‑zone conditions.
Crews are performing utility relocation, drainage upgrades, and resurfacing, which require alternating lane closures in both directions. Work is typically active between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM, though occasional overnight operations may occur for paving and line‑striping.
Traffic impacts include:
- Single‑lane closures in both directions
- Flaggers directing traffic during peak construction periods
- Reduced speed limits posted at 35 mph
- Periodic overnight closures for asphalt and paint work
INDOT encourages drivers to use Liberty Drive, Outer Lincoln Avenue, or other local routes to avoid congestion during high‑traffic hours. Motorists are reminded to slow down, stay alert, and follow posted signage when traveling through active work zones.
More updates will be provided as the project progresses.
