The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announces the eastbound Interstate 465 ramp to southbound Meridian Street is now open, one month ahead of schedule. This is the first opening of the three extended Phase 1 closures in the Level Up 31 project that were detailed in October.
With the ramp from Eastbound I-465 to Meridian Street open, commuters should note that the juncture will again be traffic signal-controlled. Watch your speed and be prepared to slow for a red light.
The remaining Phase 1 closures are expected to re-open by late December:
- Closure of the southbound U.S. 31 ramp to 106th Street
- Closure of eastbound 106th Street from Illinois Street to U.S. 31
Crews are adding capacity and increasing safety and traffic flow in the four-phase project that concludes in late 2027. An interactive map showing how the project will look when completed is also now available for review on the Level Up 31 website.
INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, avoid distractions, and use extra caution while traveling in and around work zones. All work is weather-dependent, and schedules are subject to change. Visit INDOT TrafficWise at 511in.org to monitor conditions before departing as longer wait times are possible.
