Even though the temperatures are dropping, crews are still out on Indianapolis highways. 

That means crews are working full force to finish up work before the season wraps up. Contractors will be in at least five locations throughout Marion County repairing pavement, bridges, barrier walls and guardrails and clearing drains and fixing lights.

There are no full closures happening this weekend, but motorists will want to prepare for lane restrictions and ramp closures. Plan your routes ahead of time, and be sure to slow down near construction zones.

Here are all the details:
