The Indiana Department of Transportation will begin work on the northeast quadrant of Interstate 465 next week.
Contractors will work to patch and repave segments of I-465 and I-69 from U.S. 31 all the way down to I-70.

Crews will be using a machine called a zipper wall in much of this area of construction. The zipper wall allows contractors to work safely behind a concrete barrier wall. The machine moves the barrier wall to make traffic flow better and faster when it’s time to move areas of construction.
