Gov. Eric J. Holcomb and Indiana Department of Transportation Commissioner Joe McGuinness announced 218 Indiana cities, towns and counties received a combined $100.2 million in state matching funds for local road projects through Community Crossings, a component of the governor s
Next Level Roads program. Superior transportation infrastructure from interstates to local roads and everything connecting in between make our communities safer attractive places to do business and create jobs, Holcomb said. Thriving communities, in turn, provide exceptional places for Hoosiers to call home and raise families. With that in mind, I m so pleased to invest and partner with local lead
The long-anticipated, $320 million project began mid-January, aiming to rebuild old roads and bridges and improve the interchange s “abrupt curve” design. It s also dangerous, according to Indiana Department of Transportation numbers that show crash rates more than twice as high as the state s other urban interstates.
Which parts of the interchange will close?
Though Indianapolis traffic has already been impacted by closures related to the project, this upcoming closure is the big one, impacting as many as 200,000 vehicles each day.
During this closure, expected to last until June 2022, I-65 and I-70 between the North Split and Washington Street will be fully closed to all traffic.

COLUMBUS, Ind. – The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) is closing lanes overnight next week on northbound and southbound I-65 at the Deaver Road overpass in Bartholomew County as deck pans are installed over the interstate. The work is scheduled ahead of pouring the concrete bridge deck in the coming weeks.
Lane closures will take place between the hours of 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. from Monday, May 10, through Thursday, May 13, weather permitting. The shutting down of lanes will help protect traffic from overhead work at the overpass.
INDOT says Deaver Road is closed over I-65 until late June for work on a superstructure replacement project.
