Westfield Blvd, North River Rd closing

Westfield Boulevard and North River Road Closing at I-465
Bridges being reconstructed to accommodate widened I-465 underneath
For Current in Westfield

Starting Monday, January 18, the Indiana Department of Transportation is closing Westfield Boulevard and North River Road at I-465 on Indianapolis’ north side while the bridges over I-465 are demolished and reconstructed to accommodate the widening of the mainline underneath. The closures are expected to remain in place until June.
 
Closures also remain in place on the Monon Trail this week as sanitary sewer work is completed in the area. The trail is anticipated to be closed six days a week until March. Intermittent closures may occur later in the project during bridge demolition and trail paving.
 
Mainline reconstruction on I-465 should start in March, depending on weather. Motorists should stay alert for traffic pattern shifts at that time. Once complete in late fall 2010, I-465 from U.S. 31 to Allisonville Road will have four through lanes in each direction plus additional auxiliary lanes. Milestone Contractors, Inc. of Indianapolis is completing the work for $72.8 million. Upgrades to the Keystone Avenue interchange will be completed under a separate contract at a later date.
 
The 465/69 Northeast project  adds travel lanes and improves interchanges along an eight-mile stretch of I-465, from just east of the U.S. 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.
