• The removal and replacement of the medians on the Red Line has begun, with the program expected to take 4-6 weeks. Indy Go is replacing the mountable medians with concrete to improve durability. All construction will be confined to the bus line. Also, due to cold temperatures, the battery range for the Red Line vehicles is reduced, requiring an additional charge while in service. Indy Go is working on temporary chargers along the route. The vendor, BYD, will be paying for the chargers. Drivers should expect to see Red Line buses using general traffic lanes in sections where work is underway.
