Interstate 465 - Route Description

Route Description

Except for I-65 and I-70, no numbered highways run through downtown Indianapolis. All highways that continue from one side to the other are routed around the city, concurrent with I-465:

  • Interstate 74, counterclockwise from exit 16 to exit 49
  • U.S. Highway 31, counterclockwise from exit 2 to exit 31
  • U.S. Highway 36, counterclockwise from exit 13 to exit 42
  • U.S. Highway 40, counterclockwise from exit 12 to exit 46
  • U.S. Highway 52, clockwise from exit 25 to exit 47 (originally counterclockwise from exit 20 to exit 48)
  • U.S. Highway 421, counterclockwise from exit 49 to exit 27
  • State Road 37, counterclockwise from exit 4 to exit 37 (originally only from exit 4 to exit 2)
  • State Road 67, counterclockwise from exit 8 to exit 42

The approximately one-mile section between exits 46 and 47 carries eight routes — I-465, US 31, US 36, US 40, US 52, US 421, SR 37 and SR 67. It may also carry Interstate 69 in the future.

In most cases, markers other than I-74's are not posted along I-465 itself; rather, signs on the onramps direct traffic following a particular route to follow I-465 to a particular exit to continue on that route.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:

    “A Route of Evanescence
    With a revolving Wheel—”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    “Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built. Nor let us look down on the standpoint of the theory as make-believe; for we can never do better than occupy the standpoint of some theory or other, the best we can muster at the time.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
