GARY, Ind. - The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announces ramp closures and lane restrictions are planned for the interchange of I-65 and I-80/94 in Gary Sept. 4-5. This work is in relation to the Major Moves New Construction Interchange Modification project at I-65 and I-80/94 (the Frank Borman Expressway).
The restrictions include:
- Between midnight and 5 a.m. Sept. 4-5, the ramp from northbound I-65 to westbound I-80/94 will be closed while beams are set for the new southbound I-65 bridge overhead.
- Between 9 p.m. and midnight the night of Sept. 4, the right lane of the ramp from eastbound I-80/94 to southbound I-65 will be closed during the installation of a cantilever sign.
- Between midnight and 5 a.m. Sept. 5, there will be one 20-minute closure of northbound I-65 at Ridge Road during the installation of an overhead sign truss.
During the ramp closures, a posted detour will direct I-65 traffic to take eastbound I-80/94 to the clover leaf ramps at State Road 51 (Ripley Street) to I-80/94 west.
The work schedule is subject to change in the event of inclement weather. INDOT reminds motorists to follow the posted work zone speed limit, use caution and consider worker safety when traveling through a construction zone.

Gov. Mitch Daniels' Major Moves transportation plan fully funds a decade of critical highway projects in Indiana. When Major Moves is complete in 2015, more than 200 new construction and 200 major highway preservation projects will have been built. This innovative plan will bring jobs to the Hoosier State and leave a legacy for Indiana to be a global leader in distribution and logistics.
