Indiana Department of Transportation construction crews are continuing work on completing the I-69 Finish Line project. Here’s what you need to know to navigate the week ahead smoothly.
Reminder, the southbound U.S. Highway 31/East Street entrance ramp to westbound Interstate 465 will remain closed into late 2024.
The entire intersection of Epler Avenue and State Road 37, between old Belmont Avenue and State Road 37, closed for reconstruction Tuesday, Nov. 12, and will remain closed for up to 45 days. The Epler Avenue and Belmont Avenue intersection will be open during this closure.
Wednesday, Nov. 20
- I-465 eastbound will be reduced to a single travel lane between Harding Street and Bluff Road on Wednesday, Nov. 20, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. so crews can shift traffic onto new pavement.
Friday, Nov. 22-Monday, Nov. 25
- For this weekend, expect ramp closures and a single travel lane on westbound I-465 between Kentucky Avenue and I-70, starting at 9 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 22, through 5 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 25. This double lane closure is needed to safely shift traffic onto new pavement.
- The Kentucky Avenue entrance ramp to I-465 westbound will be closed during the double-lane closure.
