Route description[edit]

Indiana State Route 265[edit]

Length6.2 mi (10.0 km)
Existed1977–2019

State Road 265 (SR 265) was what the segment of the highway between I-65 and SR 60 at exit 10 in Indiana was originally known as. It was legally rechristened in June 2019 to I-265 after a new 7.7-mile (12.4 km) section of highway that includes the Lewis and Clark Bridge (known as the East End Bridge during planning and construction) fully opened to traffic on December 18, 2016, however the SR 265 signs along the road and the exits still remain and have not been updated to I-265 signage, while the Kentucky portion of the new roadway likewise has not had I-265 signage added as of yet. In early 2023, Indiana DOT announced plans to rename as well as renumber the exits of the freeway beginning in the fall of 2023 and with completion expected over the next two years.[2]

Future[edit]

West End Bridge[edit]

I-265 will have a future western segment of Lee H. Hamilton Freeway and will join with I-64 to Exit 119 from Exit 121 with 2 new interchanges and a West End Bridge, Which will connect to the western segment of Gene Snyder Freeway in Louisville, Kentucky.

Proposed interchange at Green Valley Road[edit]

The new interchange at Green Valley Road will be a Same type of Interchange on I-71 (Exit 21) in Oldham County, Kentucky,[3] which will be Exit 39 instead of Exit 2.
