After more than two years of collaboration across Indianapolis and surrounding communities, we’ve reached the conclusion of the ProPEL Indy study.

This milestone marks the culmination of a process that engaged residents, businesses, and community organizations across Central Indiana to envision the future of I-65 and I-70 inside the I-465 loop in Indianapolis.

ProPEL Indy’s PEL Study Report was released on December 15, 2025, and marks the completion of the study by summarizing and documenting planning efforts from start to finish. You can view the full report here.

The study resulted in a wide range of reasonable alternatives for INDOT to consider for development of future projects on I-65 and I-70 in Indianapolis. These alternatives will require further analysis to determine both feasibility and effectiveness in meeting transportation needs.

At this time, no decisions have been made about the future of I-65 and I-70. Factors such as urgency of needs, statewide priorities and funding availability will be considered when identifying future projects in the study area.

Thank you for sharing your ideas, concerns, and hopes for the future of transportation in Indianapolis. ProPEL Indy has laid the foundation for what comes next as we work to modernize our interstates and enhance our community for generations to come.
