INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Department of Transportation has announced a new round of lane restrictions that are set to affect motorists who plan to travel on I-465 southbound on the east side of Marion County starting Thursday night.

According to an INDOT release, traffic on the two right lanes of I-465 southbound will be restricted between 71 Street and U.S. 36, with crews shutting down the I-465 southbound to U.S. 36 ramp.

The temporary restrictions are set to go into effect on Aug. 22 around 9 p.m., with INDOT expecting work to be completed by Aug. 23 at 6 a.m.

Later on Aug. 23, INDOT said crews will also restrict the two right lanes of I-465 southbound between 71 Street and U.S. 36 with crews closing the I-465 southbound to Pendleton Pike ramp. This is expected to be complete by Aug. 26 at 6 a.m.

Detours will be available on Shadeland Avenue and Pendleton Pike for motorists still wishing to access I-465 southbound.
