Interstate 65 in Indiana enters the state at Jeffersonville on the John F. Kennedy Memorial Bridge. It passes by the major cities of Jeffersonville, Seymour, Indianapolis, and Lafayette before ending outside Gary.
The section of Interstate 65 in downtown Indianapolis overlaps Interstate 70. The junctions are often referred to as the "North Split" and the "South Split", forming a section of interstate locally known as the "Inner Loop" or "Spaghetti Bowl" due to the visual complexity of the overlapping freeways. In 1999, the 25 mile (40 km) segment of Interstate 65 between the two Interstate 465 interchanges was renamed the Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds Highway.
Upon crossing into Lake County, Indiana, over the Kankakee River, the highway is known as the Casimir Pulaski Memorial Highway.[1] It is known as this from that point to its northern terminus. The northern terminus of Interstate 65 is only 1/8 mile (0.2 km) north of Interstate 90 (Indiana Toll Road). Prior to 2004, the interchange from Interstate 90 to Interstate 65 required making a physical left turn onto Interstate 65 via a traffic signal; traffic from Interstate 65 to Interstate 90 bypassed the traffic signal via an isolated right-turn lane. It has since been grade-separated.
Throughout its length, it passes near Clark State Forest, Brown County State Park, and Wolf Park.
It junctions with the four parkways. The first two major junctions are within Indianapolis: I-70 and I-74. The other two are near its terminus near Gary: I-80/94 and I-90. Interstate 65 also has interchanges with I-265, and I-465.
The speed limit on rural sections of I-65 is 70 miles per hour.
