INDOT opens flyover bridge to I-70 east, 11th Street ramp

Two major openings on the North Split project will be welcome news for travelers out of downtown Indianapolis.

INDIANAPOLIS — Major changes are arriving for travelers heading east from downtown Indianapolis.

Around 4 a.m. Friday, the new flyover bridge from southbound Interstate 65 to eastbound Interstate 70 reopened. The bridge is the largest structure in the North Split construction project, measuring more than 1,235 feet long and is more than 60 feet high at its tallest point, INDOT said. 

The bridge's opening was accompanied by more good news for drivers heading out of downtown onto I-70 east. The on-ramp at Delaware and East 11th streets opened early Friday. 

HAPPENING OVERNIGHT: Traffic will shift onto the LARGEST structure in the North Split project. Traffic going from I-65 S to I-70 E will be funneled onto the flyover bridge. The Delaware/11th St ramp is also opening. #northsplit #driving progress

Once traffic from the on-ramp merges with traffic on I-65, two lanes of traffic will be carried east over the flyover bridge. Traffic from the Pine Street ramp will then merge onto I-70 at the east end of the bridge. 

The North Split project is expected to be completed this fall.
