INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) plans to reopen westbound I-70 through the North Split interchange in Indianapolis on Sunday morning, weather permitting.
Crews shut down the westbound I-70 ramp to Michigan Street on Friday night to place pavement markings and move the barrier wall. The ramp and westbound I-70 will then reopen Sunday morning.
Motorists will now be able to take I-70 WB, from the east, and continue through the North Split onto westbound I-70, south of downtown. Last week, eastbound I-70 was opened through the North Split.
If you are traveling north on I-65, you will now detour along westbound I-70. INDOT says southbound I-65 SB traffic traveling through Indianapolis will continue using the detour along I-465 until the I-65 movements are completely open in late spring of this year.
The Meridian/Pennsylvania ramp will remain closed until I-65 is open. In the new North Split interchange configuration, motorists will no longer have access to the ramp from I-70 WB. This will eliminate the weaving pattern across multiple lanes, making the exit safer for motorists.
