INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Department of Transportation announced several new road closures at the start of June as part of the I-69 Project.
On Friday, June 2 around 8 p.m., INDOT said motorists traveling south on I-465 approaching the Sam Jones Expressway and I-70 will experience a reduction of five open lanes to four.
Around 9 p.m., southbound I-465 will be reduced to one lane. This reduction may take a few hours, according to INDOT.
Between 9 p.m. on Friday, June 2 and 1 a.m. on Saturday, June 3, crews are set to gradually add barriers at points where there is no longer access, such as on-ramps along I-465 eastbound, according to INDOT.
By 2 a.m. Saturday, the eastbound lanes of I-465 should be fully closed, with traffic detoured to I-70.
In addition to eastbound I-465 travel lanes, the following ramps will be closed through Wednesday, June 21:
Starting between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. Friday, June 2:
- I-70 EB and WB to I-465 SB/EB
Starting around 9 p.m. Friday June 2, progressing in sequence through 1 a.m. Saturday, June 3:
- Kentucky Avenue/S.R. 67 to/from I-465 EB
- Mann Road to I-465 EB
- Harding Street/S.R. 37 to/from I-465 EB
- East Street/U.S. 31 to/from I-465 EB
"The I-465 EB closure is necessary to allow crews to complete work related to added lane capacity, perform necessary road surface upgrades, and place under-pavement pipework to improve drainage," INDOT said in a release.
The official detour will follow I-70 EB to I-65 SB at the South Split. Be advised – during peak traffic times, traffic may be slower than normal.
