Starting Friday night (July 7), crews in Marion County will begin closing the westbound lanes of I-465 between I-65 and I-70 on Indy’s southwest side. This is the second half of the directional I-465 closures that will allow crews to make improvements to drainage structures, refurbish pavement and perform bridge maintenance. Traffic will be rerouted on I-65 and I-70 through the South Split. A map of the closure area can be found here.
