Route description
Much of I-465 replaced the routing of the defunct parallel State Road 100. State Road 100 in the US state of Indiana no longer exists as a state highway (although it still is marked on some maps the short final signed section on
Except for I-65 and I-70, no numbered highways run through downtown Indianapolis. All routes that continue from one side to the other run 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[3])
- 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[4])
- 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. A concurrency, overlap, or coincidence in a road network is an instance of one physical road bearing two or more different Highway, Motorway Interstate 74 (abbreviated I-74) is an Interstate highway in the Midwestern and Southeastern United States.

History
In 2002, Indianapolis native David Letterman's late-night talk show sidekick and band leader Paul Shaffer was honored by having a street in Thunder Bay, Ontario named for him. David Michael Letterman (born April 12, 1947) is an American late-night Talk show host and Comedian and the host since 1993 Paul Allen Wood Shaffer, CM (born November 28, 1949 in Fort William, now Thunder Bay, Ontario) is a Canadian Thunder Bay ( 2006 census population 109140 formerly the twin cities of Fort William and Port Arthur, is a City in and the seat of Thunder This led Letterman to ask (on his program) why he couldn't have his own eponymous road, and he suggested I-465 be named the David Letterman Expressway. His fans took the idea seriously, especially in the Indianapolis area where highway signs promoting the idea were displayed. Advertisers and traffic reports started to refer to I-465 as the "DLX", or later the "David Letterman Bypass", a reference to his quintuple heart bypass surgery in January 2000. A traffic report is an element of a Radio program or TV news broadcast that informs listeners about general traffic conditions Coronary artery bypass surgery, also coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and colloquially heart bypass or bypass surgery is a surgical procedure 2000 ( MM) was a Leap year that started on Saturday of the Common Era, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar. Letterman even telephoned the Mayor of Indianapolis, Bart Peterson to make his case, but eventually the idea went nowhere. Barton "Bart" R Peterson (born June 15, 1958 to parents Howard and Lori is the former mayor of the U
