New Allisonville bridge open for traffic

The new Allisonville Road bridge over Interstate 465 on the north side of Indianapolis has officially opened to traffic. Additional temporary lane restrictions are expected for about another month as Walsh Construction finishes work on the $19 million interchange project. Once all lanes are open, the new bridge will have three through lanes and two left-turn lanes in each direction. The bridge also will have bike lanes and sidewalks for non-motorized traffic.
