INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) - The Indiana Department of Transportation released plans Tuesday to close portions of I-65 in Indianapolis beginning July 1st.
Southbound Interstate 65 between the I-65/I-465 interchange on the northwest side of Indianapolis will be closed. During the closure, I-65 southbound traffic on the northwest side will be detoured via I-465 South or I-865 East.
