I – 65 south of the “north split” and I – 70 west

Dear All,
 
Below is information about construction work that is going to be starting next week on I – 65 south of the “north split” and I – 70 west of the “south split” (see map).  While this is not on our side of town, I know that many of you may travel that way, especially on weekends when the work will be done, if going out of town or to the south side of Indianapolis.  This could also be useful information if you have friends or family visiting you.  It could make a difference in the amount of traffic on I – 465 on our side of town if people driving through are trying to avoid the area and many from our area use I – 465 to avoid the work zones.
 
Hope this is helpful.  Feel free to forward this information on to others that you think may benefit from knowing about this construction that will be starting next week through August.  It is always appreciated when you help spread the word.
 
Sincerely,
 
Janice McHenry
City-County Councillor District 6

UPDATE: Construction work to begin on I-65 NB and SB in Indianapolis

INDIANAPOLIS – Work is scheduled to begin next week on I-65 near downtown Indianapolis.

This project is the first of many Marion County projects this summer as the Indiana Department of Transportation works to clean up the interstates after two years of harsh freeze/thaw cycles during the winter months.

Crews will be working on I-65 NB and SB in segments. They will be patching the road and repaving. Weather permitting, construction will take place on weekend nights from next weekend (April 26) through August.

Closures

Each weekend, one side of I-65 will be completely closed. Crews will be working northbound first, then moving southbound.

When working on northbound lanes, they will shut them down from 9 a.m. Friday to Monday at 6 a.m.

When working on southbound lanes, they will be closed from 7 p.m. Friday to Monday at 3 p.m.

The only exception is in segment 3. The north and south split will be accessible by at least one lane in both directions when crews are working in the area.

Schedule

The map below references the order in which work will be completed.

Construction teams will work Northbound through Segments 1-3, then Eastbound on segment 4. That work is scheduled to be completed at the beginning of June.

Teams will then move Southbound through Segments 1-3, then Westbound on Segment 4. Work is scheduled to be completed in August.
