INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Indiana State Police said a semi hauling a boat struck the Allisonville Road overpass of Interstate 465 on Wednesday afternoon, prompting traffic restrictions.
Two westbound lanes at about the 35-mile marker were closed as of about 4 p.m., and restrictions were expected to last for up to two hours, according to INDOT.
As of about 4 p.m., ISP reported no restriction of Allisonville traffic traveling the overpass that was struck, although INDOT workers and ISP troopers were being sent to the scene for further investigation.
