INDIANAPOLIS – Hundreds of thousands of eclipse viewers will flock to Indiana as the first total solar eclipse in seven years makes its way across the Hoosier State on Monday, April 8.
Columbus, Franklin, Seymour, Edinburgh, North Vernon, and Nashville are all in the path of totality.
To ensure smooth travel, the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), Indiana State Police (ISP) and Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) urge drivers to plan now and prepare for potential travel impacts before, during, and after the eclipse.
The eclipse will be visible over a large portion of the state, with the path of totality spanning from Evansville to Fort Wayne at around 3 p.m. EDT/2 p.m. CDT.
Other parts of Indiana will experience a partial eclipse of at least 90 percent totality from approximately 1:30 p.m. EDT/12:30 p.m. CDT to 4:30 EDT/3:30 CDT.
