INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Indiana State Police troopers are ramping up patrols as the Indiana Department of Transportation plans to pull back on several projects.

Both agencies are working to make Indiana highways safer as you prepare to hit the road this Labor Day weekend.

According to INDOT anywhere it’s safe and possible, barricades will be removed from the interstate.

That should help ease some congestion from Labor Day weekend travel.

However, your chances of getting pulled over are much higher throughout the weekend.

Indiana State Police are increasing sobriety checkpoints. They’ll also be targeting any drivers who put lives at danger, that includes distracted drivers who are texting or have their hands off the wheel for any reason.

Additionally with more people on the roads, police are looking for drivers who are aggressive and speeding.

Indiana State Police Sgt. John Perrine said last Labor Day weekend there were more than 2,100 crashes in Indiana. Fifteen were fatal and of those 7 involved alcohol.

Some interstate projects are too big and too dangerous to pull barricades. INDOT has provided a list of those spots below:
