7/2/2014 US 30 BETWEEN US 41 & I-65 CLOSING FROM 10 P.M. TO 10 A.M.

FROM INDIANA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, NORTHWEST

Set your Facebook phasers to "Share", folks! We have a MAJOR emergency closure to tell you about.

All of U.S. 30 will be closed, between U.S. 41 and I-65, beginning tonight at 10pm. The roadway will not reopen until 10am tomorrow morning.

Those awful storms on Monday night knocked down several power lines which dropped 70,000 volts on our U.S. 30 traffic signals. They are fried beyond repair and must be replaced. So, at 10pm tonight U.S. 30 must be shut down so NIPSCO can repair the power lines, then INDOT must replace numerous signals.

This is a MAJOR undertaking and closing the road is the only option since crews will be dragging huge cables across the road all night. We'll all work as quickly as we can, but if problems arise it's possible U.S. 30 could be closed longer than 10am Thursday. We'll keep you posted right here on Facebook and on Twitter, @INDOTNorthwest.

Please direct all your anger c/o Mother Nature.
