FORT WAYNE – The southbound lanes of Interstate 69 were moving slowly as of 4 p.m. Friday just north of the Jefferson Boulevard exit, the Indiana Department of Transportation said.

INDOT had recommended southbound traffic use Interstate 469 from the north side of Fort Wayne and reconnect with I-69 at mile-marker 296 on the south side of the city.
