I-465 commuters: Here are the construction projects ruining your drive
INDIANAPOLIS — Traffic seem heavier than normal on your commute? It probably is.
From Castleton down to Beech Grove, construction projects are stretched along I-465 on the east side of Marion County, gumming up traffic seemingly everywhere. The project has hit I-70 traffic particularly hard.
Here’s what to know as you plan your route:
I-465 construction in June
Westbound I-465, from I-65 to US 31/East Street will be reduced to two lanes for paving upgrades through Saturday, June 22.
Expect a double right-lane closure on westbound I-465 between I-65 and Kentucky Avenue until Monday, June 24. Motorists should also prepare for a full closure of Bluff Road under the interstate from Thompson Road to Hanna Avenue due to overhead bridge demolition. A detour will be put in place to link up to Meridian Street.
Ongoing I-465 construction
Eastbound I-465 is reduced to two lanes between Westfield Boulevard and Allisonville Road as nighttime construction continues. The work is expected to finish in March 2025.
Major construction continues on I-465 near Binford Boulevard, with an estimated end of July 2026.
The entrance ramp on northbound I-465 between North Shadeland and East 56th St in Lawrence will remain closed until Aug. 1, 2025.
On the south side, drivers should watch for traffic variations through the I-465/70 interchange to the I-465/60 interchange.
