INDIANAPOLIS — Upcoming work on the Nickel Plate Trail will result in two short-term closures along the construction path on the city’s northeast side.
East 65th Street is expected to close on Oct. 14 and is expected to remain closed for up to 14 days. East 82nd Street is expected to close on Oct. 15 and is expected to remain closed for up to 12 days. Both streets will be closed between Allisonville and Binford. Detours will be marked.
The $14.9 million project broke ground in late 2023 and is expected to remain in construction until mid-2025, adding nine miles of trail to the city’s network. The project includes the development of multi-use spur connections at 62nd Street east of Eastwood Middle School and on 86th Street west of Sahm Park, enhancing connectivity and accessibility across the region.
When complete, the Nickel Plate Trail will link to the Midland Trace and Monon trails, creating a 41-mile loop that stretches across several counties.
