INDIANAPOLIS — Drivers on Indianapolis' south side may need to find a new route for about the next six months.
Beginning on the night of Sunday, Feb. 27, the South Madison Avenue bridge over I-465 will close for demolition and replacement.
INDOT says the closure is expected to last just over six months.
A detour will follow Thompson Road, Keystone Avenue and Hanna Avenue.
INDOT says I-465 drivers should seek alternate routes and expect ongoing nighttime delays for the next few weeks in both directions between State Road 67/Kentucky Avenue and I-65.
Crews can close I-465 lanes between 9 p.m. and 4 a.m. and stop traffic for up to 20 minutes between 11 p.m. to 4 a.m.
Demolition of the Madison Avenue overpass also requires closing U.S. 31/East Street on-ramps to I-465 eastbound between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m.
