The goal of the 465/69 Northeast project is to improve safety and increase mobility on I-465 and I-69 in northeastern Marion County. The added travel lanes and interchange improvement project includes eight miles of I-465, from just east of the US 31 interchange to just north of Fall Creek Road, as well as more than two miles of I-69, crossing over 82nd Street and ending just south of the 96th Street interchange. The project is currently in the design phase, and construction is scheduled to take place between 2012 and 2016.
Each day, more than 150,000 vehicles travel in the area of I-465 and I-69. Once complete, I-465 will have four through lanes in each direction, plus a continuous auxiliary lane for exiting and entering the interstate. I-69 will feature four lanes in each direction, plus three collector/distributor lanes from I-465 to the area just north of the 82nd Street interchange.
This project is part of Governor Mitch Daniels’ Major Moves road construction program.
