HENDRICKS COUNTY, Ind. – The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announced that the intersection of State Road 75 and State Road 240 will become an all-way stop next week. INDOT crews plan to make this change on Tuesday, May 9, weather permitting.
INDOT is making this change to improve the safety of this intersection. Motorists are urged to pay attention to the changes in traffic patterns.
Milestone Contractors plans to close the eastbound I-70 exit ramp to Post Road (Exit 91) through the weekend starting Friday (May 5) night at 9 p.m. until Monday (May 8) at 6 a.m. for concrete paving and patching.
During the weekend ramp closure, eastbound I-70 traffic exiting to Post Road will be directed to continue eastbound to Mt. Comfort Road (Exit 96) and return westbound on I-70 to access Post Road.
All lanes of eastbound I-70 will remain shifted to the left between I-465 and Post Road as construction continues on the $2.3 million project to build an additional lane on eastbound Interstate 70 between I-465 and Post Road (Exit 91) on the east side of Indianapolis.
Eastbound I-70 traffic is scheduled to remain in this Phase 1 work zone configuration through mid-May. The added lane is intended to improve traffic flow and safety by increasing capacity and reducing unnecessary merging as traffic from I-465 enters eastbound I-70 and vehicles exit to Post Road.
Later this spring, the project will also make full-depth concrete repairs to eastbound and westbound I-70 pavement in the same area, as well as paint overpass bridges at Franklin Way and Emerson Avenue.
All work is expected to be complete before the end of this year.
The 55 mph speed limit will be reduced through the interstate work zone to 45 mph when workers are present and lights are flashing.
Overnight and weekend lane and ramp closures will be scheduled throughout the project and announced in advance. Lane and ramp closures can be expected on eastbound and westbound I-70, the northbound and southbound I-465 ramp to eastbound I-70, and the I-70 eastbound exit ramp to Post Road on weeknights from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. and on weekends starting on Friday at 9 p.m. until Monday at 5 a.m. At least two lanes of I-70 will remain open at all times.

Milestone Contractors plans to close the right lane of eastbound Interstate 70 between I-465 and Post Road on Thursday (April 27) night from 9 p.m. until 6 a.m. This lane closure may repeat Friday night if needed. Two left lanes of eastbound I-70 and interchange ramps will remain open.
Starting Friday (April 28) at 9 p.m., the eastbound I-70 exit ramp to Post Road (Exit 91) will be closed through the weekend until Monday (May 1) at 6 a.m. for concrete paving and patching.
During the weekend ramp closure, eastbound I-70 traffic exiting to Post Road will be directed to continue eastbound to Mt. Comfort Road (Exit 96) and return westbound on I-70 to access Post Road.
All lanes of eastbound I-70 will remain shifted to the left between I-465 and Post Road as construction continues on the $2.3 million project to build an additional lane on eastbound Interstate 70 between I-465 and Post Road (Exit 91) on the east side of Indianapolis.

The 55 mph speed limit will be reduced through the interstate work zone to 45 mph when workers are present and lights are flashing.
Overnight and weekend lane and ramp closures will be scheduled throughout the project and announced in advance. Lane and ramp closures can be expected on eastbound and westbound I-70, the northbound and southbound I-465 ramp to eastbound I-70, and the I-70 eastbound exit ramp to Post Road on weeknights from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. and on weekends starting on Friday at 9 p.m. until Monday at 5 a.m. At least two lanes of I-70 will remain open at all times.
Overnight closures of up to two lanes of westbound I-465 and the northbound I-65 ramp to westbound I-465 are scheduled for each night this week starting at 9 p.m. until 6 a.m. as part of the $19.6 million project rebuilding six I-65 bridges over I-465 and Lick Creek on the south side of Indianapolis.
(1) The eastbound I-465 ramp to northbound I-65 is closed for the duration of the construction project, and (2) the southbound I-65 ramp to eastbound I-465 was closed April 10 for up to 150 days.
During these ramp closures, signed detours direct traffic south on I-65 to Southport Road (Exit 103) to return northbound on I-65.
Two lanes of southbound I-65 are shifted across the median to share the widened northbound side of the interstate. Opposing directions of traffic are separated by temporary concrete barriers. Traffic is expected to remain in this Phase 1 configuration through mid-summer.
Later this summer, both directions of I-65 traffic will be shifted to share the southbound side of the interstate while construction is completed on the northbound side. Phase 2 will also close (3) the northbound I-65 ramp to westbound I-465 for up to 150 days.
Bridge construction is expected to be substantially complete, with all lanes and ramps open to traffic, before the end of this year.
Traffic lane shifts, median crossovers, and ramp closures are necessary to complete the project in phases while maximizing safety and mobility. Northbound I-65 will have three lanes and southbound I-65 will have two lanes throughout construction, except for overnight lane closures.
I-465 underneath the bridges have closed shoulders and overnight lane closures. Specific dates and traffic restrictions will be announced in advance and communicated to motorists using electronic message signs. All interstate lane closures will be scheduled between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.
The I-65 and I-465 speed limits are reduced to 55 mph through the work zone and further reduced to 45 mph when workers are present and lights are flashing.
