71st Street to close for old 465 bridge demolition

INDIANAPOLIS - Drivers should watch for changes on the northeast side of Indianapolis thanks to a bridge demolition project.




According to the Indiana Department of Transportation, the old southbound I-465 bridge over 71^st Street will be demolished. As a result, 71^st Street and the adjacent trail will close.




The project is expected to begin at 7 a.m. on Monday, July 28, and last through 7 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 4.




Drivers should use 75^th Street as a detour.

The closures will ensure the area is clear of drivers and pedestrians as crews rebuild the I-465 bridge over 71^st Street.




The work is part of the Clear Path 465 project aimed at improving safety and traffic flow on one of the most congested stretches of interstate in Indianapolis.




INDOT said the work is weather-dependent and noted the schedule could shift based on the conditions outside.
