INDIANA – As work continues on I-69 Finish Line throughout 2024, let’s step back to 2023 and review all our accomplishments last year.
Overnight single and double-lane restrictions are expected this week on eastbound and westbound I-465 near Bluff Road, the Indiana Railroad overpass, and Harding Street. Lane restrictions will occur overnight between 9:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. for existing pavement and bridge demolition work. Lane restrictions will occur one location at a time, depending on the weather.
Demolition work to remove existing pavement and bridge decks continues on I-465 between Bluff Road and Harding Street. With this work come extended periods of noise caused by the breaking up of existing concrete pavement and the removal of existing bridge decks to clear the path for new pavement and bridges along I-465. This work occurs at night, so local roads adjacent to the demolition sites can be closed while overhead work is underway. It is anticipated that demolition work will continue for the next couple of weeks until the existing bridge decks and pavement of I-465 between Bluff Road and Harding Street are fully removed.
As winter driving conditions persist, please drive safely and not crowd the plow, especially in construction zones. INDOT’s #YellowTrucks have many blind spots, so it’s important to keep your distance when approaching one. Please plan your travels wisely and drive cautiously, adjusting to the changing weather conditions. Check out 511in.org or download the free INDOT TrafficWise mobile app for road conditions near you.

State Road 144 is now fully open to traffic following the conclusion of work activities adjacent to the roadway. All construction barrels have been removed and all travel lanes are open to motorists. Major work at this location is now complete. Restrictions are expected to be removed at Smith Valley Road this week, weather permitting.
Northbound State Road 37 has a single-lane restriction beginning just north of Stotts Creek and continuing for two miles. This alignment will continue through spring. Additional restrictions will occur as needed for the movement of equipment.
Actual starting dates and duration of work and any closures may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen activities occur.
