INDIANAPOLIS — After years of construction, the new Interstate 69 and Interstate 465 interchange is scheduled to open in August on the southwest side of Indianapolis.
This is the sixth and final section of the I-69 connection between Evansville and Indianapolis, according to the Indiana Department of Transportation. The corridor starts in Martinsville and ends in Indianapolis.
While the interchange will open in August, construction will continue on I-465 as part of the Finish Line project.
INDOT said it started working on the new interchange site in 2022 as part of the I-69 Finish Line project, which upgrades more than 26 miles of State Road 37 to interstate standards through Morgan, Johnson and Marion counties.
The new interchange will consist of two flyover ramps connecting I-69 and I-465 just west of the existing State Road 37/Harding Street interchange.
Traffic officials said the newly constructed I-69 diverts from the current path of State Road 37 north of Edgewood Avenue. State Road 37, north of State Road 144, will officially become I-69 once the new interchange opens.
Construction for the new interstate has been going on since 2010.
