Upcoming Closures – Hanna Avenue and I-65
The Hanna Avenue overpass bridge is scheduled to close on or after Monday, June 16. Hanna Avenue will close between Brickenwood Trace and Lasalle Street. The new bridge is expected to open late this fall and will include a six-foot sidewalk on the north side and a 10-foot shared-use path on the south side. The shared-use path can accommodate a future pedestrian pathway.
Full weekend closures of I-65 in the project area are expected in June and July to complete drainage improvements, including work on pipes and other infrastructure under the road. The closures will extend from the I-65/I-70 interchange to the I-65/I-465 interchange and will include all entrance ramps in the area.
Southbound lanes are scheduled to close from 9 p.m. on Friday, June 13, through 5 a.m. on Monday, June 16, and the weekend of June 20 through June 23.
Northbound closures are expected the weekends of June 27, July 11, July 18, and July 25. Reminders will be shared closer to date.
