Carmel, IN – Drivers traveling through Carmel are facing slowdowns today after a crash reduced traffic on I-465 westbound to a single lane just west of U.S. 31.
According to the Carmel Police Department, the crash occurred along the westbound lanes of Interstate 465, forcing officials to restrict traffic to one lane while crews respond and assess the scene. Authorities say drivers should expect delays in the area and are encouraged to seek alternate routes if possible.
The affected stretch of I-465 is a heavily traveled corridor connecting Carmel, Hamilton County, and the greater Indianapolis metro area. Even minor disruptions along this route can quickly lead to backups during peak travel hours.
Police did not immediately release details on injuries or the number of vehicles involved. It is also unclear how long the lane restriction will remain in place. Officials said updates will be shared as conditions change.
Motorists heading westbound may consider using local roads or delaying travel until congestion eases. Traffic apps and GPS navigation services are also recommended to monitor real-time conditions.
Drivers are reminded to slow down, remain alert, and follow directions from law enforcement and emergency crews working near the roadway.
