Current Projects

65/70 North Split Reconstruction

This project will reconstruct and reconfigure the north split interchange to rehabilitate an old interchange design that was originally designed for a northern freeway addition that would have connected to Binford Blvd. That freeway was cancelled leaving several stup ramps and a wonky interchange design. INDOT now wants to reconstruct the interchange since the bridges are aging and in need of replacement. They are in the study and design phase of this project. INDOT North Split Website

465/69 Northeast Project

This project will widen I-465 and I-69 in northeast Indianapolis by adding travel lanes and reconstructing interchanges and overpasses. this includes the reconstruction and reconfiguration of the I-465/I-69 interchange, the 82nd Street interchange, widening of I-69 and addition of separate weaving lanes. widening of I-465 approaching I-69 in both directions. Originally this project was planned to be built and completed by 2017, but some of the project was deferred and other improvements were made within the median of I-465 as a temporary fix. The Current iteration of the project is called "Clear Path 465" and there are three alternatives to address connections to I-69 and 82nd St. The best design alternative is Alternative C with alternative B coming up second. This project is definitely needed as this corridor is still a source for considerable congestion and the closely spaced interchanges are a danger to drivers.

465/865 Northwest Overhaul

This project will overhaul the existing infrastructure at the 96th street overpasses along I-465 and reconstruct the bridge decks on the Eagle Creek Bridges on 865 and the 465 Flyover (west to south) to improve operations. It appears that per the STIP that no additional capacity will be added at this time but that these are just retrofits to ensure the reliability of the existing infrastructure and rehabilitate roadway surfaces. A much more aggressive capacity upgrade and interchange improvement is needed here but it seems that will have to wait.

I-65 Southside Widening

I 65 Added Travel Lanes from 0.20 mile N of I-465 to 0.05 mile N of I-70 Greenfield 4.114 NHPP Mobility Construction 38912 / Init. CN $29,851,658.10 $3,316,850.90 $33,168,509.00 Construction 2020

I-69 Widening

This project widened I-69 from 2 to 3 lanes in each direction from SR-37 to just east of SR-13 in Noblesville to west of Madison and reconstructed the Campus Parkway interchange into a Crossover Diamond Interchange (also known as a Diverging Diamond Interchange or DDI). This project is a huge improvement for safety along the corridor. One can hope that the state will continue the widening project further eastward to Muncie.

I-65/SR267 Interchange Modification

This project will reconstruct and modernize the SR-267 Interchange on I-65 in Whitestown. This interchange is currently poorly constructed and has a bad ramp layout which leads to traffic being misdirected. Plans for this proect have not been released and the project is expected to begin construction in 2020 per the current STIP. It is currently in the planning and environmental phase.

US-31 Freeway Upgrade

Largely complete within the metro yet experiencing some major growing pains. Especially with the Northside 31 Interchange. Aside from that the project has significantly improved traffic along the corridor and helped improved safety greatly. Plans continue to complete the upgrade of the corridor to full freeway status from SR-38 to the newly completed Kokomo Bypass

Ronald Reagan Parkway

A new arterial parkway from I-70 (Six Points IC) to I-65 (SR-267 IC) that has been under construction for more than a decade- Currently several sections of the Ronald Reagan parkway have been constructed. The parkway once completed could extend from the Six Points Interchange @ I-70 in Hendricks county to the IN-267 @ I-65 Interchange in Boone county. At its ultimate buildout this corridor will be constructed as a 4 lane urban parkway along the west side of the greater Indianapolis metro area.

• Sections 1-2 - Six Points Interchange to US-36 (Rockville Road) - Median divided 4 lane major arterial from I-70 to US-36 - These sections are complete
• Section 3 - US-36 (Rockville Road) to CR 300 North - This section is complete. Currently constructed as a 2 lane arterial, but has enough right of way preserved to be widened to 4-6 lanes if necessary.
• Section 4 - CR 300 North to Just North of US-136 - This section of the parkway is currently planned as a rural limited access roadway. Currently it is assumed that the roadway will be 2 lanes with room to expand to 4 lanes at a future time. Construction of a new overpass at US-136 is also part of this project. This project is proposed only, currently there are no active plans in place to begin construction or timeline to completion
• Section 5 - Just North of US-136 to 56th Street (CR 600N) - This was the most recently completed section of the parkway which was completed in 2009 in anticipation of completion of section 4. This section and the new interchange at I-74 provides an additional connection to Brownsburg. Currently this only serves as a connector road for US-136 and 56th Street.
• Section 6 - This final section of the Ronald Reagan Parkway was not in the original plans. Once complete it will link I-74 to I-65 near the IN-267 interchange. This is being talked about as a conceptual project but has never been officially adopted into the Boone County thoroughfare plan. There are some that think it is a possibility but there is some uncertainty as to whether this section will become a reality.

Whitestown Parkway Roundabout

This project will Construct a new roundabout intersection at Whitestown Parkway (Old SR-334) and Indianapolis Road (Old US-52). This project should begin construction in 2018.
