INDOT Plans to Close Portion of Interstate 65 in Indianapolis for Bridge Restoration Project

INDOT Plans to Host Public Meeting to Discuss Project

 INDIANAPOLIS - The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) will close portions of I-65 in Indianapolis for approximately 35 days beginning in late spring for bridge preservation projects. Contractors will be rehabbing seven bridges along the stretch of I-65. This is not part of the highly-publicized North Split project. 

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.

The project will also close both directions of I-65 between Meridian St. (exit 113) and 21st St. (exit 115) in downtown Indianapolis. The entrance and exit ramps at the Dr. Martin Luther King St.//West St. interchange (exit 114) will also be closed. The entrance ramp from 21st St. to northbound I-65 will remain open. 

INDOT has been coordinating with varies stakeholders near the project to discuss maintenance of traffic and receive input on how to sustain some stakeholder services during construction.

INDOT will host a public information meeting to discuss the project and answer questions from the public. The meeting will be held on Monday, Feb. 12 from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at INDOT's Indianapolis Sub-District building located at 7105 S. Brookville Road, Indianapolis. 

Specific dates on the beginning and completing the project will be announced after awarding a construction contract this spring.
