I-69 AND CAMPUS PARKWAY: The Campus Parkway interchange was recently shifted into a double-crossover traffic pattern. All work on Campus Parkway is expected to be completed by August 19.

The first phase of construction will shift two lanes in each direction toward the right shoulders to provide room for construction in the median.
