Overnight lane and ramp restrictions are scheduled this weekend as crews shift traffic onto new roadway on I-65/I-70 between Fletcher Avenue and Washington Street. The off-ramp from northbound I-65 to Keystone Avenue is also expected to close overnight Wednesday for overhead sign installation.
Drivers can expect the following restrictions from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.:
Wednesday, July 22
- Ramp from northbound I-65 to Keystone Avenue closed
Friday, July 24 (POSTPONED)
- Southbound I-65 closed between Washington Street and Fletcher Avenue
- Southbound I-65 traffic will be diverted to the collector-distributor road and will rejoin I-65/I-70 south of Fletcher Avenue
Saturday, July 25 (POSTPONED)
- Northbound I-65 reduced to one lane between Fletcher Avenue and Washington Street
- Ramp from northbound I-65 to Washington Street closed, after midnight
Following the traffic shift, northbound I-65 traffic will be separated from the work zone by concrete barrier wall. Drivers continuing on northbound I-65 should keep left, while drivers exiting onto Washington Street will need to keep right before Fletcher Avenue.
Raymond Street Ramp Closures Begin Friday
As a reminder, two Raymond Street ramps at northbound I-65 are expected to temporarily close this week. Both will be improved and reconstructed with new asphalt pavement.
- Ramp from northbound I-65 to eastbound and westbound Raymond Street
- Ramp from westbound Raymond Street to northbound I-65
The ramps are expected to close around 6 a.m. on or after Friday, July 24. They are expected to reopen by October, weather permitting.
Actual dates and anticipated work may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances occur.
Construction Speed Limit
The construction zone speed limit remains active on I-65. A reduced speed of 45 mph is in place for the duration of I-65 Safety and Efficiency work. It is important for drivers to slow down and avoid distractions in work zones.
