🚧 ROAD CLOSURE ALERT – U.S. 35 🚧

Please be advised of an upcoming road closure announced by INDOT Northwest.

📅 Beginning on or after Monday, July 6, U.S. 35 will be closed between C.R. 400 W and Schultz Rd. for approximately one month (through the first week of August) to allow for a small structure replacement.

🚗 Official Detour:
➡️ State Road 39
➡️ U.S. 20

This project is the first phase of a larger resurfacing project on U.S. 35 between State Road 39 and U.S. 20. Once the road reopens, motorists should expect lane restrictions with flaggers directing traffic as paving and other construction work continues through the end of October.

⚠️ Please plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and use caution when traveling near construction zones. We appreciate your patience as these improvements are completed.

This evening we were dispatched to I94 for a semi fire. Units arrived on scene to find a semi hauling cars on fire. Fire was quickly brought under control and cause of the fire is unknown.

This actually happened on our accident scene this morning. The individual did not stop at the road closure signs that state highway put up and tried driving right through our accident scene.  please help us stay safe and obey traffic signs when they are out. 

This sums up the week it has been around these parts…

The knucklehead operating this lovely colored pick ‘em truck was stopped this morning in the US 35 closure.

Apparently he thought it would be wise to drive around a set of barricades and roadway flowers, then drive on into the closed portion of US 35 where the fatal crash investigation was occurring.

After passing three marked vehicles, the truck was stopped.

The driver’s reason you ask, “…to work.” 🤨

Those plans quickly changed. He was issued citations for disregarding an official traffic control device, passing in a no passing zone, and expired license plates.

He walked to a nearby location where his new ride to work awaited…on the correct side of the barricades.

As for the banana flavored LaffyTaffy look-alike buggy, the ol’ beaut was impounded.

It’s that time! Mark your calendars and come help us out and visit for a while.
