Southport Road bridge, southbound State Road 37 exit ramp to open

INDIANAPOLIS – The new Southport Road bridge over the future I-69 and the new southbound S.R. 37 exit ramp is scheduled to open before the Monday morning commute.

It is the first of several traffic changes drivers should expect as the new interchange opens to traffic. Motorists are encouraged to follow I-69 Finish Line on FacebookTwitter, and Instagram for schedule updates.

The existing S.R. 37 traffic signal and Southport Road to the east will connect with the new alignment at a traffic signal east of S.R. 37. It will remain open temporarily for other traffic movements:

  • Northbound S.R. 37 to Southport Road
  • Southport Road to northbound S.R. 37
  • Southport Road to southbound S.R. 37

Through traffic on Southport Road will encounter four new traffic signals at the interchange ramps and local roads east and west of S.R. 37. The signal at Wellingshire Boulevard and the realigned Belmont Avenue was activated earlier this week.
