Ramp from NB I-65 to Meridian and Pennsylvania Streets closing Monday
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Meridian/Pennsylvania Street exit from northbound I-65 in downtown Indianapolis will close Monday as part of the ongoing North Split reconstruction project, the Indiana Department of Transportation said.
The ramp is scheduled to close early Monday and remain closed until the end of November.
During the closure, work crews will widen part of the bridge near the ramp and replace concreate on the ramp.
