Good Afternoon,
UPCOMING ROAD & RAMP CLOSURE NOTICE:
This email is to notify you that The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) has upcoming road and ramp closures on I-65 southbound between West Street and Alabama Street, beginning at 9:00 p.m. on October 18, 2024, for up to 16 days, to complete bridge deck patching and joint repairs. Lane restrictions on I-65 southbound will begin at 29th Street and continue to the point of closure. Traffic will be required to exit I-65 southbound at West Street.
We know construction and closures are inconvenient and frustrating to your staff, patrons, guests, deliveries, and others frequenting your businesses. Below, we have lined out the ramp closures and suggested alternate routes.
More information about the I-65 southbound closures can be found on the website at INDOT: I-65 SB between West St. and Alabama St.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact INDOT Customer Service at INDOT4U by calling 855-463-6848 or visiting INDOT4U.com.
Please feel free to distribute this information and the INDOT4U contact with your employees, business partners, visitors, and other stakeholders.
