There was a closure on 18 right after you get off I-69 headed east when I went through a few weeks ago for a bridge repair. It was right before state road 5. That was on June 25 so it could be open by now. 18 is open at state road 3 where it was closed in the spring.

This is correct. Both are easy detours to highway 18. If you are back road adventurous there are also some country roads around it from 18.
We hope to see everyone out tonight for a great show!
