Southeast Gateway
Reconnecting Communities Planning Study
A year-long project, in partnership with the City of Indianapolis and INDOT, that explored building a cap over the recessed I-65/I-70 “South Split” at Virginia Avenue.
Rethink Coalition, in partnership with the City of Indianapolis and with the support of INDOT, was awarded a highly competitive $2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) to study design alternatives for capping the Virginia Avenue “South Split” where the Inner Loop is already partially recessed.
Central to the study will be examining how to create more livable, reconnected communities around the interstate while maintaining interstate commerce and regional travel.
Report coming soon!
The Southeast Gateway Reconnecting Communities Planning Study concluded in December 2025. We are working to prepare the report and will announce it as soon as possible.
