Improving I-65
in Southeast Indy
The nearly 5-mile project corridor stretches from north of the I-465 interchange to just north of Fletcher Avenue. The INDOT project is expected to reduce congestion and improve safety in the area.
I-65 Safety and Efficiency is expected to include added capacity primarily using the existing shoulder, the widening of three bridges, the replacement of one bridge, pavement patching and resurfacing and improvements to multiple drainage structures. No changes are planned in vehicular access to on and off ramps.
ANTICIPATED IMPROVEMENTS
The I-65 Safety and Efficiency project is expected to include the following:
- Add one lane in each direction between I-465 and I-70 primarily using existing shoulder for four travel lanes in each direction
- Improve connectivity and pedestrian safety with sidewalk improvements
- Replace the Hanna Avenue bridge over I-65; will be able to accommodate a future pedestrian pathway
- Rehabilitate and widen the northbound bridge over Morris/Prospect Street
- Widen northbound bridges over Naomi St. and E Pleasant Run (North and South) parkways
- Patching and resurfacing to improve pavement and bridge conditions and minimize the need for future repairs
- Bridge deck overlays for multiple bridges in the project area
