Pavement patching closes lane of Binford near I-465; overnight closing ahead

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Pavement patching will temporarily close northbound Binford Boulevard near the interchange for I-69 and I-465 on Friday night, the Indiana Department of Transportation says.

INDOT has already closed the right lane of northbound Binford just north of 75th Street, forcing northbound traffic into the left lane. The route is a popular commuter route on the northeast side.

Crews starting at 9 p.m. Friday will entirely close northbound Binford. At least one lane of the two-lane boulevard should reopen by 6 a.m. Saturday. Both lanes will be open once the concrete has cured.

The road closure was originally scheduled for Monday night, but inclement weather forced INDOT to push the project to the end of the workweek.

INDOT notes that drivers can still exit I-465 eastbound to I-69 northbound.
