The nearly 5-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.
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. More details about these improvements and sidewalk improvements throughout the corridor will be shared at the public meetings.
With advance notice, INDOT can provide special accommodation for persons with disabilities and/or limited English-speaking ability and persons needing auxiliary aids or services such as interpreters, signers, readers or large print.
