New I-69/I-465 interchange opens, construction continues through late 2024

INDIANAPOLIS – The new interchange at I-69 and I-465 opened in early August. It includes ramps at Epler Ave. While this marks an important milestone in Connecting the Crossroads, the area near I-465 will remain an active construction zone until late 2024 as work progresses to move I-465 into its permanent alignment.

A significant milestone in Connecting the Crossroads, the area near I-465 will remain an active construction zone through late 2024 as work continues to move I-465 into its permanent alignment.

What to expect this week:

  • Westbound and eastbound I-465 near the White River Bridge will be reduced to one lane with 20-minute stops nightly from Monday, August 26, through Friday, August 30, between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. for material deliveries and overhead sign structure placement. This single-lane condition is expected to cause delays. Use an alternate route if possible.
  • Westbound and eastbound I-465 between US 31/East Street and I-65 will be reduced to one lane with 20-minute stops nightly from Monday, August 26, through Friday, August 30, between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. to provide safe access for crews to and from the construction site.
  • I-69 northbound and southbound between Fairview Road and I-465 are still within the I-69 Finish Line construction zone. Drivers should follow posted speed limits, be alert, and drive safely as construction continues later this year.
