Closure needed for safe installation of retaining wall

Starting tomorrow, weather permitting, Vermont Street will close under I-65 between Davidson Street and Pine Street to allow for Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) retaining wall installation. This closure is anticipated to continue through March 4.

During this closure, eastbound traffic will be detoured to New York Street while westbound traffic will be redirected to Michigan Street.

Access to downtown Indianapolis will be maintained via:

  • I-70 westbound collector/distributor (C/D) ramp exit ramp to Michigan Street (13-ton declared vehicle weight restriction in effect)
  • Pine Street entrance ramp to I-70 eastbound from Ohio Street, Michigan Street and New York Street
  • I-65 northbound/I-70 eastbound exit ramp to Washington Street (13-ton declared vehicle weight restriction in effect)
  • I-65 northbound and southbound to Martin Luther King. Jr./West Street
  • I-65 southbound to Meridian Street
  • I-65 northbound to Meridian and Pennsylvania Streets
  • All existing ramps on I-70 west of the South Split

INDOT encourages drivers to slow down, exercise caution and drive distraction-free through all work zones.
