Abstract
In 2018, portions of I-65 were closed in Indianapolis to construct seven bridge rehabilitations from downtown north to I-465. This presentation discusses the challenges and opportunities related to an interstate closure, including reasons behind INDOT’s decision to close I-65. Highlights include design, project delivery, and construction elements implemented into the contract. Best practices and guidelines for which types of projects could consider closure as a viable MOT (maintenance of traffic) scheme will be covered.
