INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) The state’s second-busiest interchange is scheduled to close Saturday to drivers in preparation for an 18-month project.
“We’re knocking down these bridges, rebuilding them, and so the infrastructure will be completely brand new,” Indiana Department of Transportation spokesperson Mallory Duncan said.
The North Split Interchange project is expected to close I-65 and I-70 between the North Split and Washington Street.
“If you don’t have to go downtown, we ask that you use our detour route, which is 465 all the way around,” Duncan said.
Its goal is to rebuild old roads and bridges. It’ll also improve its design.
