INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) officials reported Friday that the largest structure within the Indianapolis North Split project is now open.
The southbound to eastbound flyover bridge was opened as North Split construction crews shifted traffic onto the interchange’s re-constructed bridge. Southbound I-65 drivers will use this bridge, spanning from College Avenue to Lewis Street, to connect to eastbound I-70.
The on-ramp from Delaware/11th Street to I-70 eastbound also opened Friday morning, with traffic being routed directly onto the new flyover bridge.
As progress continues, access to downtown Indianapolis will be maintained via:
- I-70 westbound collector/distributor (C/D) ramp exit ramp to Michigan Street (13-ton declared vehicle weight restriction in effect)
- Pine Street entrance ramp to I-70 eastbound from Michigan Street and New York Street
- I-65 northbound/I-70 eastbound exit ramp to Washington Street (13-ton declared vehicle weight restriction in effect)
- I-65 northbound and southbound to Martin Luther King. Jr./West Street
- I-65 southbound to Meridian Street
- I-65 northbound to Meridian and Pennsylvania Streets
- All existing ramps on I-70 west of the South Split
INDOT says project information can be found at northsplit.com.
