The closures extend from the I-65/I-465 interchange to the I-65/I-70 interchange and include the following ramps:
- Keystone Avenue entrance/exit ramps
- Raymond Street entrance/exit ramps
- Morris Street/Prospect Street entrance ramp
- Westbound I-70 to southbound I-65
- Eastbound I-70 to southbound I-65
- Madison Avenue to eastbound I-70
Traffic will be detoured using I-465 and I-70. Drivers should look for signage along the roadway for guidance.
Actual dates and anticipated work may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances occur. Drivers are encouraged to plan alternate routes and allow extra travel time, when possible.
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.
