Entry Description
Temporary Traffic Stops Expected On I-69
As Beams Are Set For New Flyover Ramp
FISHERS, Ind. – Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) contractors plan to restrict traffic on Interstate 69 during overnight hours beginning this week to install beams for the new two-lane State Road 37 flyover ramp.
Milestone Contractors, the state’s contractor for the $18 million Operation Indy Commute project, began installing the bridge beams early Wednesday, August 8. The Indiana State Police (ISP) will stop traffic on I-69 for up to 20 minutes at a time as the beams are positioned over the interstate. ISP will also be patrolling the work zone.
Traffic stops are expected to occur between 10 p.m. on the dates below and 5 a.m. the following morning. However, this schedule is subject to change, and motorists should expect possible temporary overnight stoppages through August 17.
TENTATIVE SCHEDULE:
Wednesday, August 8 – Northbound
Thursday, August 9 – Southbound
Friday, August 10 – Southbound
Monday, August 13 – Southbound
Tuesday, August 14 – Both directions
Wednesday, August 15 – Northbound
Thursday, August 16 – Northbound
INDOT is contracting Milestone to widen and increase the traffic-carrying capacity of the Exit 5 ramps to 116th Street and State Road 37. A new flyover ramp will carry two lanes of traffic from northbound I-69 to State Road 37, and a new entrance ramp to northbound I-69 from 116th Street will eliminate weaving with traffic exiting to State Road 37.
These improvements are part of INDOT’s Operation Indy Commute, an initiative to strategically eliminate recurring commuting bottlenecks on I-69 in Marion and Hamilton Counties between the I-465 interchange and 116th Street/State Road 37 exits. A separate Operation Indy Commute project is planned for the I-465 and I-65 interchange on the south side of Indianapolis.
