Drivers traveling on the northeast side of Indianapolis should prepare for major lane and ramp closures this weekend as part of ongoing Clear Path 465 construction.  This is a major way Fishers residents commute to and from downtown Indianapolis and other areas.

The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announced that traffic on eastbound I-465 will be shifted to new pavement near the White River to allow crews to continue building new lanes and ramps in the median area. The change will move the exit from eastbound I-465 to northbound I-69 and southbound Binford Boulevard farther west.

To complete the traffic shift, INDOT plans the following closures beginning 9 p.m. Friday, October 17, through 6 a.m. Monday, October 20:

• Ramps from northbound and southbound Keystone Avenue to eastbound I-465 will be closed.

• The ramp from eastbound I-465 to Allisonville Road will be closed.

• Eastbound I-465 will be reduced to two lanes between River Road and the 82nd Street overpass, then to one lane through the Binford Boulevard/I-69 area.

In addition, from 9 p.m. Friday, October 17, to 6 a.m. Sunday, October 19:

• The ramp from eastbound I-465 to southbound Binford Boulevard will be closed.

• The ramp from eastbound I-465 to northbound I-69 will also be closed.

Drivers are urged to plan alternate routes and expect delays throughout the weekend. INDOT cautions that the schedule may change due to weather or other unforeseen factors.

The Indiana Safe Zones speed control program remains active in the Clear Path 465 construction area. Automated speed monitoring systems are in place to promote safety for both workers and motorists. INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, avoid distractions, and stay alert in construction zones.

The Clear Path 465 project is aimed at improving traffic flow and safety on the northeast side of Indianapolis, including new interchanges and added capacity along I-465 and I-69.
