INDOT asking for public comments on I-65, I-70 split project

The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) invites the public to Community Conversation meetings to learn more about initial insights from ProPEL Indy, a two-year study of I-65 and I-70 within the I-465 loop in Indianapolis.

The study will inform the next 20 years of investment in transportation infrastructure by developing a bold vision to modernize interstates inside the loop, according to INDOT.

These meetings will be held in June. A presentation will begin 30 minutes after doors open:

1720 W. Wilkins St., Indianapolis

6:30 to 8 p.m.

June 13

Julia M. Carson Government Center

300 E. Fall Creek Parkway N. Drive, Indianapolis

June 26

ProPEL Indy has identified bridge and pavement conditions, safety, mobility, and multimodal connectivity issues within the study area. The next study phase will focus on why potential improvements are being considered, as well as their importance to Indianapolis and surrounding communities, according to INDOT.

Additional information can be found in the study’s draft Purpose and Need Report, which was released last month. The full report and supporting documents can be found on the study’s website ProPELIndy.com.

Community feedback on this report is requested through June 30.

INDOT encourages the public to continue sharing input throughout all stages of the study at ProPELIndy.com.
