Indianapolis, Indiana – On Tuesday, part of Broad Ripple Avenue closed and won’t reopen until December.
In order to reduce flooding along Broad Ripple Avenue, which is part of a larger $271 million plan to improve Indianapolis infrastructure, the Indianapolis Department of Public Works is beginning the first phase of its $8.4 million project.
The block of the street from Winthrop Avenue west to Guilford Avenue will be closed.
Traffic moving north or south can cross Broad Ripple Avenue via Guilford Avenue, and traffic moving east and west will be detoured to Kessler Boulevard.
According to Public Works, all businesses will remain accessible during construction.
Contractors will set stormwater structures in the intersection and will return to Broad Ripple Avenue for Phase 2 of construction in the spring.
