On or after Saturday, May 17, the ramp from northbound I-65 to Keystone Avenue (Exit 107) is scheduled to close for reconstruction. The ramp is expected to reopen in late August, weather permitting.
In addition to the ramp closure, northbound I-65 will be reduced to two lanes from north of the I-465 interchange to just south of the I-65/I-70 overpass starting on or after Saturday, May 17.
Lane restrictions are expected to remain in place through late 2026 as crews construct additional travel lanes as part of the I-65 Safety and Efficiency project. Interstate 65 will expand to four travel lanes in each direction between I-465 and I-70 at the end of the project.

Additional Restrictions Planned
Southbound I-65 will be reduced to two lanes from north of the I-465 interchange to just south of the I-65/I-70 overpass starting on or after Thursday, May 22. At least two lanes will remain open in each direction on I-65 between I-465 and I-70 through the end of 2026.
Several ramps at the I-65/I-70 and I-465 interchanges will be limited to one travel lane to accommodate I-65 construction. Some ramp restrictions are already in place, with others expected to begin by the end of May. These lane closures will remain in place through the end of 2025.
Drivers should slow down, allow extra travel time, and be aware of changing traffic patterns. Follow posted signs and pavement markings to navigate the corridor safely.
I-65 Safety and Efficiency will extend the life of existing pavement and add capacity to improve traffic flow and safety in southeast Indianapolis.
