 INDOT
will close I-65 SB at I-465 on the northwest side. Traffic will be diverted via
I-465, I-865.
I-65 between
Meridian Street (exit 113) and 21st Street (exit 115) will be closed, including
Dr. MLK Jr. St./West St. interchange (exit 114). Access to NB I-65 from 21st

INDIANAPOLIS - The
Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) will close portions of I-65 in
Indianapolis beginning on July 1 and anticipate opening the interstate back to traffic on Aug. 5. American Contracting & Services Inc. has been contracted to rehab 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.
