INDOT: I-69 Section 5 on schedule for August 2018
The
Indiana Department of Transportation
is still targeting Aug. 31, 2018, as the date of substantial completion for the Interstate 69 Section 5 project, but there is a caveat.

Partners in early August, the state agency feels work is progressing at a much faster pace than it was under the private development company.
