0

Milestone Contractors plans to shift traffic lanes starting ​the night of June 27 for the next phase of construction on the eastbound Interstate 465 Exit 27 ramp to U.S. 421/Michigan Road.

Weather permitting, crews plan to close the exit ramp between 9 p.m. and midnight to move concrete barriers and shift traffic from the left to the right side of the eastbound I-465 exit ramp Michigan Road as construction continues on an additional left-turn lane.

Two left-turn lanes and two right-turn lanes will remain open on the eastbound exit ramp during this phase of construction, which is expected to last through July.

About the project

Milestone is the prime contractor on a $1.4 million construction project adding turn lanes at the I-465 and U.S. 421/Michigan Road interchange on the north side of Indianapolis. The project seeks to increase capacity and improve traffic flow at the interchange by:

  • Lengthening the existing northbound Michigan Rd. right-turn lane to eastbound I-465,
  • Adding a second left-turn lane on southbound U.S. 421 to eastbound I-465,
  • Adding a third left-turn lane on the eastbound I-465 exit ramp to northbound U.S. 421

All interchange ramps are planned to remain open during the project, except for some temporary overnight restrictions. Some lanes at the interchange will be temporarily closed, narrowed or shifted to maintain traffic and provide space for construction.

Specific schedule updates and traffic restrictions will be announced in advance of each phase of the project. All construction is anticipated to be complete by November.
