INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Motorists on the city’s southwest side should be prepared for the second half of the I-465 directional closures. Starting Friday night following the evening rush hour, westbound I-465 will be reduced to one lane. Between 9 p.m. Friday and 1 a.m. on Saturday, crews will gradually add barriers and close off access to I-465.
Early Saturday morning, westbound I-465 and the following ramps will be closed to traffic:
- I-65 to I-465 westbound
- S. 31/East Street to I-465 westbound
- Harding Street/S.R. 37 to I-465 westbound
