Banta Road on the southside of Indianapolis has reopened after being closed for the Interstate 69 project.
The Banta Road and Belmont Avenue intersection has been reopened near State Road 37 in Marion County. But Belmont Avenue is permanently closed at the old Edgewood Avenue intersection, according to an Indiana Department of Transportation project update.
Traffic south of the old Edgewood Avenue intersection will have Belmont Avenue access south to Southport Road. Traffic north of the old intersection will need to travel north on relocated Belmont Avenue to Epler Avenue, according to INDOT.
Next weekend, there will be a closure at the southbound Interstate 465 ramp intersection at Mann Road for repaving. Message boards will be up in advance of the closure. The eastbound ramp from Mann Road to I-465 is expected to open at the end of October, INDOT officials say.
In Johnson County, the single northbound lane closure on State Road 37 continues to be in place under the State Road 144 bridge until the end of November to allow crews to finish mainline paving in the area. If traveling northbound, drivers should be aware of traffic merging from State Road 144, according to INDOT.
The ramp from northbound State Road 37 to Smith Valley Road is anticipated to be open by late October.
There will also be a traffic switch on the east leg of Smith Valley Road, east of Mullinex Road, for crews to complete a new median, INDOT officials say.
