The Indiana Department of Transportation says that Duke Energy is upgrading its utility poles in the area, which is now called the Vermillion Rise Industrial Mega Park.
INDOT says that the highway will be closed for up to 15 minutes at a time, with the work lasting from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. It reminds motorists to follow the posted work zone speed limit, use caution and consider worker safety when traveling through a construction zone.
