INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Department of Transportation will close the Pine Street entrance ramp to I-70 eastbound as part of the ongoing North Split reconstruction project.
The ramp is scheduled to close on or after Monday, July 25, and will reopen to traffic in late September, weather permitting. During the closure, construction crews will reconstruct the Pine Street entrance ramp with connection to northbound I-65 and eastbound I-70.
Both the West Street and Delaware Street on-ramps to I-70 eastbound will remain open during the Pine Street ramp closure.
Detour
There will be two official detours for the duration of this closure. Westbound traffic will be directed from Michigan/Pine streets to Davidson Street to New York Street to Rural Street to the Rural/Keystone I-70 eastbound on-ramp. Eastbound traffic will be directed from New York Street to Rural Street to the Rural/Keystone I-70 eastbound on-ramp.
Alternative routes include New York Street to Emerson Avenue to the I-70 eastbound on-ramp and Michigan Street to Delaware Street to the Delaware/11th Street on-ramp.
