Project Update: Public Hearing Expected This Summer

Improvements aim to improve traffic flow and safety

The I-65 Safety and Efficiency project aims to improve traffic flow and safety on I-65 in Southeast Indy. The draft environmental document is expected to be complete and available for review this summer. There will be a public hearing and formal comment period at that time.

The nearly five-mile project corridor begins north of the I-465 interchange and ends just north of Fletcher Avenue. The project is expected to include added capacity, bridge improvements, pavement patching and resurfacing, and improvements to multiple drainage structures.

Additional Information

I-65 Safety and Efficiency will largely utilize the existing shoulder to add one lane in each direction between I-465 and I-70 for a total of four travel lanes in each direction. The Hanna Avenue bridge over I-65 is expected to be replaced and will be able to accommodate a future pedestrian pathway.
