Indianapolis, Indiana — on Monday, a portion of College Avenue over the Central Canal north of Broad Ripple Avenue will close for maintenance.
Workers will partially remove and replace bridge decking and install a new overlay during the closure. Existing sidewalks on either side of the bridge will be widened.
According to the Indianapolis Department of Public Works, construction is expected to last until this fall.
Northbound traffic will be directed to follow Kessler Boulevard, Meridian Street and 71st Street to reconnect with College Avenue during the closure. Southbound traffic should use 71st Street, Meridian Street, and Kessler Boulevard. As part o the detour, north- and southbound traffic will be directed to travel across the Kessler Boulevard bridge over the White River that is currently under construction. Two-way traffic across the Kessler Boulevard bridge is restricted to the northernmost traffic lanes.
Traveling northeast along the Central Canal during construction, Westfield Boulevard will stay open for traffic.
According to Indy DPW, the project will cost nearly $674,000.
