INDOT has announced temporary closures on I-465 on the southwest side of Indianapolis in June and July as a component of the I-69 Finish Line project.
INDOT is closing a stretch of I-465 on the city's southeast side and it could lead to delays.Starting June 2 all eastbound lanes of I-465 will be fully closed between I-65 and I-70. Essentially, it's closed westbound from the airport to US-31.The detour for I-465 eastbound traffic will follow I-70 eastbound to I-65 southbound in the South Split."It's a nightmare out there. It's going to impact everybody. Anybody who says it doesn't is lying to you.
Some drivers are worried about the traffic it might cause, and the annoyance of the amount of time it will be closed. "It's a month? Can you you imagine? Anybody who is coming this way in the next month, change your route," Joan Landwehr said."The only way we saw plausible to do all of this stuff was to shut down 465. That was the safest way to go about all of this and it's also allowing us to get through this so much quicker," Kyleigh Cramer with INDOT said.
The detour for I-465 westbound traffic will follow I-65 northbound to I-70 westbound in the South Split. The following ramps will be closed for the duration of the closure: INDOT says the southbound U.S. 31 ramp to I-465 westbound that is currently closed will remain closed through late 2024.
