More I-65 ramp closures to start Friday

map provided by INDOT

More ramp closures are coming to I-65 Friday.

The ramps from eastbound U.S. 30 and 61st to northbound I-65 will close for about two weeks starting at 6:00 p.m. Meanwhile, the exit ramp from northbound I-65 to 61st is scheduled to close after 8:00 p.m. and reopen Monday morning. Then, the ramp from Ridge Road to northbound I-65 will close for about 10 days, starting Tuesday.

The Indiana Department of Transportation says I-65 will continue to have three lanes open in each direction during the day, but drivers can expect lane closures overnight. It's part of a $25.6 million concrete and bridge project. Work is expected to wrap up for the year in November, but more construction is planned for 2023.
