Lane and ramp closures, reduced speed limits coming to I-65 mid-May
The exit ramp from northbound I-65 to Keystone Avenue will be closed on or after May 17 to allow for ramp reconstruction, according to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT). The closure is a part of the I-65 Safety and Efficiency Project, and as construction begins on the project, I-65 will be reduced to two lanes in each direction from north of the I-465 interchange to south of the I-65 and I-70 overpass. The ramp is expected to remain closed through late August. Lane restrictions are starting on or after May 17 and will be in place until 2026. Crews will be adding travel lanes, and by the end of 2026, there will be four travel lanes in each direction throughout the goal of the I-65 Safety and Efficiency plan is to extend the life of existing pavement and add capacity to improve the traffic flow and safety in southeast Indianapolis. Construction Speed Limit: The construction zone speed limit is now active on I-65. A reduced speed of 45 mph is in place for the duration of I-65 Safety and Efficiency work. INDOT said drivers need to slow down and avoid distractions in work zones.
