The roundabout at Interstate 69 and State Road 144 is now fully open, while a detour of Interstate 465 Eastbound is in full effect.
All four legs of the State Road 144 roundabout are open to traffic. Crews will continue working in the center island of the roundabout. Motorists are encouraged to go slow and pay attention to new traffic patterns, according to the Indiana Department of Transportation’s latest I-69 Finish Line update.
Crews have also installed a temporary four-way stop at Banta Road and Belmont Avenue that will stay in place while Banta Road is reconstructed under the new I-69, INDOT officials say.
It’s been more than a week since the eastbound lanes of I-465 closed to allow crews to complete work across all travel lanes. So far, bridge deck overlays, new bridge approaches, pipe cuts in the pavement and ramp reconstruction have been completed, INDOT officials say.
Motorists on westbound I-465 are encouraged to follow the posted speed limits in the construction zone and not be distracted by eastbound work zone activities. Work will continue around the clock as weather permits, INDOT officials say.
The official detour for the I-465 closure follows Interstate 70 eastbound to Interstate 65 southbound at the South Split. During peak traffic times, traffic may be slower than normal, INDOT officials say.
People can download the INDOT TrafficWise app or visit 511in.org to view live traffic cameras to gauge how the construction detour will impact commute times.
