Work on the Interstate 69 Finish Line Project continues this week, with lane restrictions and closures planned.
In Marion County, nightly double-lane closures and intermittent 20-minute stoppages are expected at various locations on Interstate 465 eastbound and westbound between Interstate 65 and Interstate 70 through Friday. Closures and stoppages are expected between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. for pavement upgrades, overhead sign structure installation and grading activities, according to an Indiana Department of Transportation project update.
Drivers should expect a single-lane closure and 20-minute stoppages on SR 37 northbound and southbound at Southport Road on Wednesday and Thursday evenings between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. for overhead sign installation, according to INDOT.
Next week, two lanes of I-465 are expected to close between I-65 and I-70 for pavement upgrades, dirt movement, grading activities and overhead sign structure installation. These closures will begin at 9 p.m. May 10, and both lanes will reopen by 4 a.m. May 13, according to INDOT.
Five ramps will also be closed from 9 p.m. May 10 to 4 a.m. May 13: I-70 eastbound/westbound to I-465 southbound, State Road 67/Kentucky Avenue to I-465 eastbound, Mann Road to I-465 eastbound, State Rpad 37/Harding Street to I-465 eastbound and U.S. 31/East Street to/from I-465 eastbound, INDOT Officials say

In Morgan County, motorists should expect lane closures and 20-minute stoppages at the Henderson Ford Road I-69 interchange and south of the interchange between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. from now through Friday for mobile pavement striping operations. Northbound I-69 has a two-mile single-lane condition starting just north of Stotts Creek into May, and there may be intermittent lane closures for equipment movement, according to INDOT.
Although outside the scope of the I-69 project, the State Road 144 bridge over the White River will be restricted to one lane starting Monday. More information about this work will be published in Saturday’s Daily Journal.
