The new system interchange at I-69 and I-465 is scheduled to open next month on the southwest side of Indianapolis, completing the interstate connection between southwest and central Indiana. Initial work began at the new interchange site in 2022 as part of the I-69 Finish Line project, which upgrades more than 26 miles of State Road 37 to interstate standards through Morgan, Johnson and Marion counties.

The new interchange consists of two flyover ramps connecting I-69 and I-465 just west of the existing SR 37/Harding Street interchange. South of I-465, newly constructed I-69 diverts from the current path of SR 37 north of Edgewood Avenue. SR 37, north of SR 144, will officially become I-69, upon opening of the interchange.

I-69 Finish Line is the sixth and final section of the I-69 connection between Evansville and Indianapolis. The corridor begins in Martinsville and ends in Indianapolis. Learn more about the project and subscribe to updates at I69FinishLine.com.

TRAFFIC ADVISORY: Drivers can expect increased construction activity in and around the I-69/I-465 system interchange in anticipation of opening to traffic. Construction work will continue at and near the system interchange through the end of 2024.

I-465 lane and ramp closures:

Westbound I-465 between I-65 and I-70 will be reduced to one lane with 20-minute stops nightly from Monday, July 29, through Friday, August 2, between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. for bridge beam delivery and placement. This single-lane condition is expected to cause delays. Use an alternate route if possible.

REMINDER: The westbound I-465 exit ramp at Mann Road (Exit 7) was closed on Friday, July 26. This exit ramp will be closed, for up to 60 days for pavement reconstruction in westbound lanes. Motorists needing to access Mann Road from westbound I-465 should exit at Kentucky Avenue/SR 67 (Exit 8).

(Click on the map to the left to see the Mann Road ramp closure.)

Separate from the I-69 Finish Line project, lane and ramp closures are planned on I-465 southbound on the southeast side of Indianapolis through Monday, August 5. More information is available here.

I-69 Traffic Updates:

On Tuesday, July 30, and Wednesday, July 31, from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., expect a single-lane closure on southbound I-69 between Teeters Road and SR 44 in Morgan County for paving work.

About I-69 Finish Line
I-69 Finish Line is the sixth and final section of the Interstate 69 connection between Evansville and Indianapolis. The project will upgrade the existing State Road 37 to interstate standards between Martinsville and Indianapolis.

Governor Eric Holcomb’s Next Level Connections program fully funded the project and accelerated construction by three years. I-69 Finish Line is on track to open to traffic in late 2024, improving safety and reducing travel time.
