Indiana Department of Transportation contractor E&B Paving, Inc. is scheduled to close the I-265 eastbound off-ramp to northbound I-65 on or after Monday, April 22, for a bridge deck replacement project in Clark County. Crews will begin to place signage in the area prior to the start of construction.
The I-265 eastbound off-ramp is located approximately two miles east of Charlestown Road in Clark County. Work is expected to take up to 15 weeks, weather permitting. Throughout the closure, motorists should use the official detour route which follows I-265 EB to IN 265 EB to Exit 11 in Utica to International Drive NB to IN 265 WB to I-65 NB (Exit 7A).
This project is part of a $22.9 million contract awarded to E&B Paving in October 2023. The contract includes a total of 11 bridge rehabilitation projects located throughout Clark and Floyd Counties. INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, use extra caution and avoid distractions when traveling near work zones. All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.
