INDIANAPOLIS — Construction for the expansion of the Indianapolis Cultural Trail: A Legacy of Gene and Marilyn Glick will impact the intersection of Indiana Avenue and Blake Street.
Beginning on or after Monday October 10, Blake Street will be closed at Indiana Avenue for curb and roadway work. The temporary closure is scheduled to last 4 – 6 weeks.
Indiana Avenue traffic flow will not be impacted by the Blake Street intersection closure. Those traveling to and from Lockefield Gardens Apartments should use the Blackford Avenue entrance.
The first expansion of the Indianapolis Cultural Trail: A Legacy of Gene and Marilyn Glick is happening in two distinct locations: South St. and Indiana Ave/10th St. The expansion will add two miles to the linear park which connects cultural districts and neighborhoods and serves as the downtown hub for the city’s greenway network.
Indianapolis Cultural Trail, Inc. broke ground on the expansion last November and to date has raised $28.5 million for the estimated $30 million project.
Construction activity in the past year includes excavation, utility relocation, specialty lighting installation, curb and gutter work, storm water planter construction, resurfacing and construction of the Trail’s base layer.
