INDOT Plans I-465 Partial Closure for Pavement, Bridge Repairs
INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Department of
Transportation (INDOT) will begin partial closures on I-465 between I-70 and
I-65 on the city’s southwest side for approximately 18 days to complete pavement
and bridge repairs beginning in September.
The construction contract for this project will be
awarded in August. The scope of the project will focus on the following:
- Pavement removal and replacement and
concrete bridge approach replacements at 4 bridges
- I-465 over Kentucky Ave./SR67
- I-465 over State Ditch
- I-465 over White River
- I-465 over Harding St./SR37
- Bridge joint replacements
- Asphalt and concrete pavement patching
INDOT is anticipating closing I-465 eastbound at 9
p.m. on Friday, September 14 and reopen on or before Monday, September 24 at 5
a.m. Then, I-465 westbound is expected to be closed at 9 p.m. on Friday,
September 28 and reopen on or before Monday, October 8 at 5 a.m. Both sides of
I-465 will not be closed at the same time.
I-65 and I-70 will serve as the detour route
for I-465 during the closure. Traffic that would normally use I-465 to reach S.R. 37
or S.R. 67 will be directed to use I-70 to Harding Street (Exit 78). Southbound
Harding Street will take motorists to S.R. 37 or S.R. 67 via Kentucky Avenue.
Traffic that would normally use U.S. 31 should consider I-65 as an alternate
route.
The closure expedites the work needed to be completed
and eliminates maintaining traffic during this significant project, which could
take up to several months to complete with motorists driving through the work
zone.
