Public Works Advisory: Blue Line Construction and Washington Street Closures

The Indianapolis Department of Public Works (DPW) and IndyGo have issued active service announcements regarding significant transit construction for the Blue Line. Commuters should take note of the following disruptions active as of March 2:

• Washington Street (Belmont Avenue to Harding Street): This section remains closed to all through traffic to facilitate the installation of new storm sewer trunk lines. This closure is expected to remain in effect until approximately May 2026. Westbound motorists are advised to detour south on Harding Street to I-70 West, utilizing the Holt Road exit.
• Washington Street (Southeastern Avenue to State Avenue): Construction on storm sewers has resulted in the closure of eastbound lanes for a 90-day period. Eastbound traffic is currently being detoured via Southeastern Avenue and State Avenue. Westbound access is being maintained at this time.

Local access to residences and businesses will be maintained throughout these projects. DPW reminds drivers to follow all posted detour signs and exercise caution when traveling through active construction zones.
