Editing Interstate 865 (section)

==Route description==

I-865 begins at an interchange with [[Interstate 65 in Indiana|I-65]] in the northwest outskirts of [[Indianapolis]], near [[Zionsville, Indiana|Zionsville]]. The interchange allows for traffic from southbound I-65 to continue east onto I-865 and connects traffic from westbound I-865 to northbound I-65 but prohibits other movements. [[U.S. Route 52 in Indiana|US&nbsp;52]] is concurrent with the entire length of the four-lane freeway as it travels east across several farms and suburban neighborhoods on the south side of Zionsville. After {{convert|4.7|mi|km}}, I-865 terminates at a three-way interchange with [[Interstate 465|I-465]], which continues around Indianapolis as a [[beltway]].<ref name="google">{{google maps |title=Interstate 865 |url=https://www.google.com/maps/dir/39.9364512,-86.3441694/39.9284181,-86.2624147/@39.9320778,-86.321051,6901m/am=t/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m2!4m1!3e0 |accessdate=October 28, 2018}}</ref>
