Work on Interstate 465 for Interstate 69 will intensify this month.
Motorists should expect increased activity on I-465 between I-70 and U.S. 31 this month in Marion County, according to a project update from the Indiana Department of Transportation.
A weekend closure of the westbound I-465 ramp to northbound U.S. 31/East Street is expected this weekend. Crews will begin the closure starting Friday and will open before the morning commute on Monday, INDOT officials say.
Construction crews also expect to switch traffic on Southport Road on or after Wednesday. The new alignment will remain one lane eastbound and one lane westbound. The new northbound I-69 to Southport Road ramp is also expected to open on or after Wednesday, according to INDOT.
The following lanes and ramps will be closed during the eastbound I-465 lane closures in mid-December as crews switch traffic to new pavement:
- Two eastbound lanes of I-465 between I-70 and U.S. 31,
- State Road 67/Kentucky Avenue ramp to eastbound I-465,
- Mann Road Ramp to I-465 eastbound,
- State Road 37/Harding Street to eastbound I-465,
- I-70 east and westbound ramps to I-465 southbound/eastbound.
Heavy congestion is expected for the duration of the weekend closure. Motorists can visit 511in.org to view live traffic cameras and plan their commute accordingly, INDOT officials say.
