INDIANAPOLS - A busy I-465 ramp that closed back in July is open once again.
The eastbound I-465 ramp to southbound Binford Boulevard closed as part of the ongoing Clear Path 465 project. It reopened around 5:30 a.m. Monday.
In order to get the area ready, crews closed down some nearby roads and instituted lane restrictions over the weekend.
The approximately two-month-long closure allowed crews to reconstruct Binford Boulevard to separate local traffic from traffic entering and exiting I-465 and I-69. Crews were also able to move a concrete barrier in the area.
Traffic is now moving on the new bridge. Drivers should look for a temporary traffic signal on southbound Binford Boulevard north of 75th Street. It's intended to manage traffic on southbound Binford Boulevard from I-465 and I-69.
The Clear Path 465 project aims to improve safety and traffic flow along the busy interstate corridor on the northeast side. It includes added travel lanes, modifications to interchanges, more than a dozen new bridges, pavement replacement and maintenance.
The Indiana Department of Transportation said multiple ramps and bridges should be finished by the end of the year, including the ramp from 56th Street to northbound I-465, the ramp from Allisonville Road to eastbound I-465, several bridges and full access to I-69, I-465 and Binford Boulevard from 82nd Street.
Construction started in early 2022. The entire project is slated for completion in 2026.
