INDIANAPOLIS — The city recently announced a lengthy list of construction projects included in the 2023 capital infrastructure program. Each year, this program includes projects to improve roadways, rehabilitate bridges, enhance pedestrian safety, and improve stormwater infrastructure.
On the east side a slew of new projects and continuation of existing construction, are noted. Almost $12 million is allocated for the project to convert New York and Michigan streets to two way streets into and out of downtown. Phases 2 and 3 of the Pogue’s Run Trail from Commerce to Rural will receive $6 million. Chatham Arch alleys and Mary St. will undergo reconstruction. Phase II of the 16th and Monon redevelopment project will receive $2.8 million. A major project on South Emerson from S. County Line to Stop 11 will receive over $10 million. The Old Southside will receive over $6 million as part of the Lift Indy campaign. In addition, Broad Ripple Ave. improvements will continue from College to Primrose, and Post Rd. from Washington St. to I-70 will see a major overhaul.
Residential streets throughout the city will see millions in reconstruction and improvements, including sidewalks and intersections.
Over $15 million has been earmarked for IndyGo’s Blue Line, segment 1 that will run to Holt Rd. The Nickel Plate Trail conversion will begin to create a multi-use trail from 42nd & the Monon Trail, east to the Nickel Plate Trail and north to 96th Street. The project will also connect communities at 62nd Street east to Eastwood Middle School and on 86th Street west to Sahm Park.
