The Indiana Department of Transportation says it will shut down the I-465 lanes running westbound and southbound between I-65 and I-70 on the city's southeast side beginning Friday night.

The agency says at least one lane will be open in each direction of I-70 at all times during construction work that will stretch through November.

This week's meetings will give the public an overview of the Mid-States Corridor Project and explain the road's purpose.

The long-planned project is designed to improve the I-65 / I-70 interchange near downtown Indianapolis. INDOT says the interchange, which is the second-most heavily traveled in the state, has been deteriorating for years.

WFYI's Taylor Bennett speaks with Indiana Department of Transportation spokesperson Mallory Duncan about the ongoing work, and when INDOT expects to be be completed.

The Indiana Department of Public Transportation introduced a reconfiguration project for I-465 Wednesday, and took public comment.

The Indiana Department of Transportation says an expansion joint needs replaced in the Eisenhower Bridge in downtown Anderson.

Results of a study suggest tolls on major highways could help ensure long-term, sustainable road funding - especially as current revenues from gas taxes begin to decline, likely within the next decade.

The demolition is part of work to turn two Miami County intersections along U.S. 31 into full-on interchanges as part of a $190 million plan that continues efforts to turn the highway into a freeway.

Permanent speed limit signs are in place and uncovered, but the Indiana Department of Transportation says flashing work zone speed limit signs will indicate when drivers need to slow down.
