INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Department of Transportation will close the Delaware/11th Street on-ramp to I-70 EB starting on or after Tuesday, April 18 through Friday, April 28, weather permitting, as part of the ongoing North Split construction project.
During this closure, North Split crews will build a permanent barrier wall to allow safe merging onto I-70 eastbound. Once the ramp reopens, two lanes will be open from I-65 SB to I-70 eastbound, and the ramp lane will merge onto I-70 eastbound.
As a reminder, under the permanent North Split interchange configuration, there will no longer be access to I-65 SB via the Delaware/11th Street ramp.
During the ramp closure, access to I-70 eastbound will be maintained via the Pine Street and Rural Street ramps and Martin Luther King Jr. Street.
Access to downtown Indianapolis will be maintained via:
- I-70 westbound collector/distributor (C/D) exit ramp to Michigan Street
- I-65 northbound I-70 EB exit ramp to Washington Street
- I-70 westbound to Martin Luther King. Jr/West Street
- I-65 southbound to Meridian Street
- I-65 southbound to West Street
- All existing ramps on I-70 west of the South Split
Once complete, INDOT hopes the new system will take up a smaller footprint and increase the walkability of surrounding downtown Indianapolis neighborhoods.
