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.
