I-65 Update

Question

Just got back from Chicago last night and thought I would share this info....the numerous construction zones on 65 in IN are all gone, especially that nightmare south of Indy. The road is now fully open and smooth as glass with the exception of some lingering construction just south of Indy by Greenwood, there is a lane shift but all are lanes are open.

KY is a different matter....I-65 through Louisville is pretty torn up and there is a major construction project underway down through Shepherdsville and points south. It's also still a mess down through Nashville where it meets I-24.

Give Indiana 1 week and it will all be dug up again! Seems whenever they FINALLY get a road nice and smooth, they dig it up for something within days after completing. Just wait.

Just wait.If I am not mistaken they just announced a 14 mile widening project. To start next year from Greenwood south, but will do some patch repairs in the next few weeks.

Thanks for the update.Now everyone will drive 95 on 65 north rather than 85 and there will be fatalities every day instead of every 4 days.  That stretch of 65 from Indy to Chicago has to be one of the most dangerous highways in the Midwest.
