TRAFFIC NEWS TO KNOW

56th Street/Shadeland Avenue Ramp to Northbound I-465 Open

Upcoming Short-Term Closures

Long-Term Closures

  • Ramp from northbound Binford Boulevard to westbound I-465 closed

The project will transform one of the state’s busiest interchanges with efficient, high-capacity ramps for I-465 and I-69 that reduce traffic weaving and merging.

Clear Progress

I-69 Over 82nd Street

Mainline I-465

I-69 / I-465 Interchange

More than 90% of the project is complete with construction expected to wrap up in late 2026.

All 6 new bridges at 82nd Street are complete.

All eight new bridges in the I-69/I-465 interchange are complete.

A Clear Path for Improvement

Clear Path 465 will improve safety and traffic flow on I-465 and I-69 on the northeast side of Indianapolis.

The project will support the future national I-69 corridor, which is being completed in Indiana. I-69 is an important commuting corridor that connects Indianapolis with Fishers, Noblesville, Pendleton, Anderson and other communities.

I-465 MAINLINE

The first construction phase will rebuild and add lanes to 4.5 miles of I-465 between Fall Creek and the White River. INDOT awarded the first construction contract to a tri-venture of E&B Paving, Rieth-Riley Construction and Gradex in December 2021.

I-465 and I-69 Interchange

The second and final construction phase will focus on nearly two miles of I-69 and Binford Boulevard, including the 82nd Street and I-465 interchanges.

In early 2023, INDOT awarded the second construction contract to a tri-venture of E&B Paving, Rieth-Riley Construction and Gradex. Construction started for this phase of the project in early 2023.

Noise Barriers

Status: Under Construction

The Clear Path 465 Project Team performed a traffic noise impact analysis during project development. Under  INDOT’s Noise Policy, seven noise barrier sections were identified as reasonable and feasible and will be built or relocated: 

  • 800 feet along northbound I-69 past 82nd Street 
  • 350 feet along northbound I-69 past I-465 
  • 1,230 feet along the northbound I-465 ramp to I-69 northbound 
  • 2,000 feet along westbound I-465 past Allisonville Road 
  • 5,230 feet along eastbound I-465 between 82nd Street and I-69 
  • 5,500 feet along southbound I-465 past 75th Street 
  • 4,900 feet along northbound I-465 near 65th and 71st streets 

The noise barrier along northbound I-465 past 75th Street has been built, and the noise barrier along eastbound I-465 between 82nd Street and I-69 is under construction. Construction on the remaining noise barriers will continue through the end of the project, with road construction remaining the primary focus at this time.
