I-69/I-465 Beam Signing
On Thursday, March 14, Gov. Eric J. Holcomb, INDOT Commissioner Mike Smith, and members of the I-69 Finish Line project team signed one of the final steel bridge girders that will be hung later this week to form the I-69/I-465 system interchange. Once complete, the interchange will connect I-69 to I-465 and allow traffic to flow freely between the two corridors. This will have a positive impact on the region’s economic stability, opening new growth opportunities for the State of Indiana, and will provide a quicker, safer commute for motorists.
In 2024, most activity will focus on construction of the new interchange, I-69 mainline paving north of Southport Road, westbound travel lanes on I-465 between I-65 and I-70, and reconstruction of the I-465 westbound bridges over the White River and Harding Street.
The entire corridor between Martinsville and Indianapolis is on track to open by the end of 2024. Click here to read more about last week’s event.
