INDIANAPOLIS (Aug. 17, 2021) – Expect I-465 traffic delays after 11 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday nights, weather permitting, during installation of overhead electric transmission lines just east of S.R. 37/Harding Street.
Police are scheduled to assist utility contractors with 20-minute rolling slowdowns of I-465 traffic between S.R. 67/Kentucky Avenue and I-65 on the city’s southwest side. The traffic slowdowns will also require short closures of I-465 entrance ramps at Mann Road, S.R. 37 and U.S. 31/East Street. Traffic backups will be given time to clear before the next rolling slowdown, and work is expected to be completed by 4 a.m. each morning.

About I-69 Finish Line
I-69 Finish Line is the sixth and final section of the Interstate 69 connection between Evansville and Indianapolis. The project will upgrade the existing S.R. 37 to interstate standards between Martinsville and Indianapolis.
Governor Eric Holcomb’s Next Level Connections program fully funded the project and accelerated construction by three years. I-69 Finish Line is expected to open to traffic in late 2024, improving safety and reducing travel time.
