Beginning on or after May 31, crews will close I-465 southbound between I-70 and I-65 on the southeast side of Indianapolis. On weekdays, traffic on I-465 southbound will be reduced to three lanes between 46th St. to the I-465/I-70 interchange. On weekends, traffic will be reduced to two lanes.

These closures will allow crews to safely complete pavement restoration, bridge deck patching and joint repairs. The following ramps will also be closed starting at the following dates and times:
