Overnight Traffic Pattern Changes on I-465
For Allisonville Road Bridge Demolition

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) will shift traffic on I-465 during overnight hours this week as demolition begins on the Allisonville Road bridge.

Walsh Construction, the state’s contractor for the $19 million reconstruction project, will reroute traffic on I-465 at the Allisonville Road interchange as crews remove the structure over the interstate.  Traffic on I-465 will be diverted to the ramps for the safety of motorists and workers beginning at 10 p.m. and will return to normal by 6 a.m.

On Wednesday, May 30 and Thursday, May 31, westbound I-465 will be diverted up the exit ramp to cross Allisonville Road and return to I-465 on the other side of the bridge.  On Friday, June 1 and Saturday, June 2, eastbound I-465 will be diverted up the exit ramp.  Both directions of I-465 will be diverted up the exit ramps on Monday, June 3.

Work zone traffic patterns on I-465 will continue each night until the existing bridge is removed.  Walsh crews anticipate it will take at least two weeks.  Additional nighttime restrictions on I-465 can be expected throughout construction of the new bridge, which is expected to open in 110 days. 

INDOT and the 465/69 Northeast project team plan to keep people informed each step of the way throughout the project.  Businesses and commuters are encouraged to subscribe to the e-newsletter at www.AllisonvilleRoad.com or text DRIVE to 772937.  For regular project updates, locate the INDOT East Central Twitter feed and Facebook page at www.socialmedia.indot.in.gov.
