Michigan Street closure extended through Saturday

MARION CO. – Michigan Street is currently closed under I-65 between Davidson Street and Pine Street for pile driving and overhead bridgework and will now reopen on or after Saturday, February 19. The closure has been extended due to recent high winds preventing crews from placing beams.

INDOT further reminds motorists Michigan Street is expected to close again on March 5 through March 14 for continued pile driving and overhead bridgework.  

Throughout the duration of this closure, westbound traffic will be redirected to Washington Street, and pedestrian and bicycle traffic will be redirected to Vermont Street. 

Access to downtown Indianapolis will be maintained via: 

  • I-70 westbound collector/distributor (C/D) ramp exit ramp to Michigan Street (13-ton declared vehicle weight restriction in effect)
  • Pine Street entrance ramp to I-70 eastbound from Ohio Street, Michigan Street and New York Street  
  • I-65 northbound/I-70 eastbound exit ramp to Washington Street (13-ton declared vehicle weight restriction in effect) 
  • I-65 northbound and southbound to Martin Luther King. Jr./West Street 
  • I-65 southbound to Meridian Street 
  • I-65 northbound to Meridian and Pennsylvania Streets 
  • All existing ramps on I-70 west of the South Split
