INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Drivers who rely on I-465 to get around the city’s east side should prepare for more than a month of lane restrictions and ramp closures from Pendleton Pike to Fall Creek Road.

The Indiana Department of Transportation plans to begin a “large-scale pavement repair operation” on Thursday as part of the Clear Path 465 project. Work will continue through Sunday, Oct. 15, weather permitting.

The work will begin Thursday night in the northbound lanes of I-465. Drivers should plan for significant backups and delays throughout the project.
