INDOT's Weekend I-69 Construction: Lane & Ramp Closures

Dec 5, 2024 at 11:07 PM
Starting Thursday night, drivers using Interstate 69 on the northeast side are in for a change. These closures are part of a significant project that aims to bring about major improvements in the area.

Prepare for Changes on Interstate 69 This Weekend

Thursday Night Closures

Starting at 9 p.m. on Thursday, December 5, only the right lane on I-69 south at 96th Street will be open. Three ramps will also close during this time, including the one from Interstate 465 east to I-69 north, and access to Binford Boulevard from both north and south directions of I-69 will be unavailable. This shift in traffic patterns is a crucial step in the ongoing construction project.

It's important for drivers to be aware of these closures and plan their routes accordingly. Giving themselves a little extra time can help avoid unnecessary stress and delays.

Friday Night Closures

By 11 p.m. on Friday, the ramp from 106th Street to I-69 south will also be closed. These closures are expected to last until 6 a.m. on Monday, December 9. While it may cause some inconvenience in the short term, the end result will be worth it.

The construction team is working hard to ensure the safety of both drivers and workers during these closures. They are implementing various measures to manage traffic and keep the construction site organized.

Monday Changes

Starting Monday, things will look different with new pavements, new routes, and new ramps opening up. This will significantly improve the driving experience for commuters.

Drivers are encouraged to adapt to these changes and follow the detour signs and instructions provided. By doing so, they can help ensure a smooth flow of traffic and minimize disruptions.

A project nearing completion at the end of 2025, these ramp and lane closures are a necessary part of the process. INDOT is committed to completing the project on time and delivering the promised improvements to the community.
