Shoulder strengthening progresses on the I-65 Safety and Efficiency corridor in southeast Indianapolis this week.
Drivers can expect the following overnight lane and ramp closures near the I-465 interchange and Keystone Avenue:
Monday, May 12, and Tuesday, May 13, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
- Single-lane closure on northbound I-65 at the I-465 interchange
- Single-lane closure on southbound I-65 from Keystone Avenue to the I-465 interchange
- Ramp from Keystone Avenue to southbound I-65 closed
Wednesday, May 14, and Thursday, May 15, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
- Ramp from southbound I-65 to Keystone Avenue (Exit 107) closed
- Ramp from Keystone Avenue to northbound I-65 closed
- Single-lane closure on northbound I-65 from Keystone Avenue to Troy Avenue
- Single-lane closure on southbound I-65 approaching Keystone Avenue
All closures are weather dependent and subject to change. Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead and use alternate routes, when possible.
Crews are strengthening shoulders with new asphalt to accommodate traffic during construction. Part of the outside shoulder will be used to maintain traffic while providing space for crews to build new travel lanes. I-65 will have four travel lanes in each direction between I-465 and I-70 when the project concludes in late 2026.
Reminder: Keystone Avenue Ramp Closure
The exit ramp from northbound I-65 to Keystone Avenue is scheduled to close on or after Saturday, May 17, and remain closed through late August. 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.
Construction Speed Limit Now Active
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. It is important for drivers to slow down and avoid distractions in work zones.
