Construction to begin on NE side of I-465 in Indianapolis

Lane closures scheduled to begin next week

INDIANAPOLIS - The Indiana Department of Transportation will begin work on the northeast quadrant of I-465 next week. 

Contractors will work to patch and repave segments of I-465 and I-69 from U.S. 31 all the way down to I-70. 

This work is part of a Marion County Construction Plan that looks to erase winter damage done to area interstates. It's part of a statewide winter damage plan. 

Work is scheduled to begin next week after Memorial Day. Crews will be doing night and weekend work from the end of May through October. 

Work will be completed in four different segments. Please use the map below for reference. At least one lane in each direction will always be open during this project.

Crews will be using a machine called a zipper wall in much of this area of construction. The zipper wall allows contractors to work safely behind a concrete barrier wall. The machine moves the barrier wall to make traffic flow better and faster when it's time to move areas of construction. 

You can watch a video of a zipper wall here. 

Members of the media are asked to use the media contact at the bottom of this release with any requests to see the zipper wall in action.
