The speed limit on I-65 is reduced to 45 mph within the construction zone throughout the project. The speed limit on eastbound I-80/94 from Grant Street to the southbound I-65 ramp also is reduced to 45 mph. INDOT reminds drivers to use caution and keep in mind worker safety while driving through construction zones.

Until completed in November 2008, the ramp from northbound I-65 to westbound I-80/94 is restricted to one lane with an 11-foot width restriction. A posted wide load detour directs traffic on northbound I-65 wanting to travel west on I-80/94 to take I-80/94 east for approximately 2 miles to State Road 51 (S.R. 51) north to westbound I-80/94 via the clover leaf ramps.

For nine months beginning March 1, a portion of I-65 and some ramps are closed. The closure will allow construction to finish in half the time, as well as increase safety for the traveling public and construction workers. Access to businesses on 15th Avenue will remain open. Access to I-65 from 15th Avenue will remain closed during construction. The ramps from northbound I-65 to eastbound or westbound I-80/94, and the ramp from eastbound I-80/94 to southbound I-65 will remain open.

The closure will include:

• Approximately 1.5 miles of I-65 from the bridge over I-80/94 to 15th Avenue
• The ramp from I-80/94 W.B. to I-65 N.B.
• The ramp from I-80/94 W.B. to I-65 S.B.
