Overnight ramp closures planned for Binford Boulevard bridge demolition

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Crews in Indianapolis on Thursday night will continue the demolition of the former bridge connecting southbound Interstate 69 to southbound Interstate 465 over Binford Boulevard.

The demolition follows the opening of the new ramp and bridge at the interchange last month.

The project will require a series of overnight ramp closures and a full temporary closure of 82nd Street starting Thursday.

The upcoming restrictions will last from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. Thursday and Friday, and then Monday through Wednesday. This will allow crews to safely remove the old bridge.

Here’s what will be closed

• Ramps
  • Ramp from eastbound I-465 to southbound Binford.
  • Ramp from southbound I-69 to southbound Binford.
  • No access to northbound I-69 from northbound Binford Boulevard at 75th Street
• Streets
  • Both directions of 82nd Street are scheduled to close under I-69 from 9 p.m. Friday, Feb. 20 to 6 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 21.
  • Crews will shift drivers to the outside lanes of 82nd Street to build the foundation for the final, new I-69 bridge over 82nd Street. Emergency access will be maintained during the closure.

Overnight ramp closures are scheduled to continue through Wednesday, Feb. 25. Actual dates and work times may be adjusted ...
