All Eastbound I-465 Lanes, Entrance Ramps Reopen On Indianapolis Southwest Side

Last updated on Sunday, September 23, 2018

(INDIANAPOLIS) - All lanes of eastbound I-465 and entrance ramps at U.S. 31 (East St.), State Road 37 (Harding St.), Mann Rd., State Road 67 (Kentucky Ave.), and I-70 have reopened as work wraps up on the first phase of a $10 million rehabilitation project on Indianapolis’ southwest side.

"I'm thrilled to reopen eastbound I-465 to motorists more than two days earlier than anticipated," INDOT Commissioner Joe McGuinness said. "I want to thank our partners at Rieth-Riley Construction for their tireless efforts to deliver the first phase of this project well ahead of schedule. We set an aggressive schedule and put forth an ambitious scope of work. I'm proud to say that the entire project team delivered an outstanding effort for Hoosier taxpayers."

Work completed on eastbound I-465 includes:

INDOT reminds motorists that I-465 westbound will close between I-65 and I-70 on the southwest side at 9 p.m. on Friday, September 28 for the second phase of this project and reopen on or before Monday, October 8 at 5 a.m.

I-65 and I-70 will serve as the detour route for westbound I-465 during the closure.

The closure expedites the work needed to be completed and eliminates maintaining traffic during this significant project, which would take up to several months to complete with motorists driving through the work zone.
