Indianapolis, IN – Drivers on the northwest side of Indianapolis should prepare for significant delays this week as lane and ramp closures are scheduled on Interstates 465 and 865, according to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT).
Beginning at 9 p.m. on Friday, September 19, the right eastbound lane of I-465 will close between Zionsville Road and Michigan Road (U.S. 421). The closure will last through 6 a.m. Monday, September 22, impacting commuters traveling into Marion County and beyond.
According to INDOT, an additional closure will begin at the same time on Friday, September 19, when the I-865 eastbound ramp to I-465 eastbound shuts down. That closure will extend until 6 a.m. Wednesday, September 24, forcing drivers to use alternate routes.
The official detour will redirect drivers via the I-865 eastbound ramp to I-465 southbound, as well as the 86th Street ramp to I-465 northbound. Motorists are encouraged to allow extra travel time and consider alternate routes during the closure window.
Both Zionsville and Indianapolis commuters should expect increased congestion in the area, especially during peak travel times. INDOT officials are urging drivers to slow down in work zones and remain alert for crews.
