The Indiana Department of Transportation is preparing to spend $337.8 million to improve the I-465 and I-69 interchange on the north side of Indianapolis.
Ethan May shares news of a newly released visualization of a planned reconstruction of the I-465 and I-69 interchange on the north side of Indianapolis.
The flyover is available for public viewing, as shared here thanks to the Indiana Department of Transportation's YouTube page. May's coverage of the video includes timestamps of explanations for significant moments in the five-minute-long video. According to that extra layer of explanation, one of the most significant components of the project is captured at the very beginning of the video: "Instead of a one-lane loop ramp, drivers heading to I-69 from eastbound I-465 will have a two-lane ramp that runs under I-465 and enters the left side of I-69."
In a separate article published in October, May provides additional explanation of the project, noting that the Indiana Department of Transportation is planning on spending $337.8 million to rebuild the interchange and add lanes to I-465. The project is scheduled to begin construction in the spring of 2022 and wrap up in 2024, according to May.
Add the I-465/I-69 project to the list of major highway investments underway in the Indianapolis area right now. "It's not the only or even the next major interstate project slated for the city: Work is expected to begin this winter on a total rebuild of the North Split interchange of I-65 and I-70 downtown," adds May in the October article. Planetizen picked up news of local opposition of the I-65/I-70 split in February 2018, and Susan Orr was reporting on that project in September 2017.
