The Indiana Department of Transportation announces alternating lane closures are planned next month on U.S. 31 for concrete patching in Kokomo.

Alternating lane closures will begin on or after Monday, July 6 on northbound and southbound U.S. 31 between County Road 600 N. and State Road 18. Work is expected to continue through the end of August.

Crews began concrete repairs on U.S. 31 in Kokomo last summer, reopening the road in the late fall. The remaining work will be performed this summer under alternating lane closures to minimize the impacts to traffic.

INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, avoid distractions, and use extra caution while traveling in and around work zones. All work is weather-dependent, and schedules are subject to change.
