Jasper/White County Line-All traffic south bound is closed at the Jasper/White County Line on I-65 due to numerous crashes in that area. All traffic is being diverted off at the 201 mile marker (Remington/Wolcott exit). The interstate in that area is iced over. Please avoid this area if you are traveling south. It is unknown at this time how long it will be closed.
The south bound lanes on I-65 at the Jasper/White County Line on I-65 are still closed. The reason for the extended delay is that one of the semi’s involved lost its load of cement siding boards; which are affected by the cold temperatures. This has caused the boards to become breakable and brittle when handled. We anticipate having one lane open in the next hour.
Motorists can expect slowed or stopped traffic through the area and are asked to use caution as the roadway is iced over.
