Sections of Interstate 64 Closed Due to Flooding
Sections of Interstate 64 in Perry and Dubois County are being closed this morning due to flooding. Westbound traffic on I-64 is being diverted at the 79 mile marker north onto State Road 37. Motorists are asked to proceed north on SR 37 until State Road 64, at which drivers can travel west to State Road 162. Travel south on SR 162 to I-64 at the 63 mile marker.
