Both directions of Interstate 69 will have a brief traffic stoppage near Exit 350 in Steuben County early Tuesday morning, the Indiana Department of Transportation said today.

The stoppage will begin about 4:30 a.m. and last up to half an hour, the transportation department said in a statement.

It will allow a utility wire to be pulled across the interstate under a permit from the transportation department.

The statement said motorists may want to select alternate routes or plan for traffic delays.
