What You Need to Know About the I-65/I-70 North Split Controversy
MARCH 16 2018 | AMY BARTNER | INDYSTAR | POSTED WITH PERMISSION
The half-century-old highway system spidering through north Downtown Indianapolis is about to either be rebuilt in accordance with today's standards, or re-imagined as a new way to move traffic through the city.
Last week, a coalition formed to demand the Indiana Department of Transportation radically rethink how I-65 and I-70 cross through Downtown, either to move the split underground or eliminate it altogether. It's a move that will impact the city's neighborhood connectivity for the next 50 years, and leaders of the coalition, Rethink 65/70, want to exhaust all options before rebuilding.
