In Lake County, the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) says there will be overnight lane closures on Interstate 65 between Interstate 80/94 and U.S. 30 for pavement marking. Removal of the temporary markings is scheduled to begin 8pm Thursday March 5, 2026, to 5am Friday March 6, 2026. Weather permitting, application of the permanent pavement markings will occur over two nights beginning on or after Monday March 16, 2026, 8pm to 6am. Pavement markings are weather sensitive so the painting schedule is subject to change, and pavement markings also need to be applied at certain temperature thresholds based on the product, the announcement said. INDOT says when pavement patching and bridge work on I-65 extend into late fall, permanent pavement markings are often not conducted until temperatures begin to rise again at the end of winter.
