IRVINGTON — There is a full closure at the intersection of Washington St. and Ritter Ave. due to Citizens Energy Group relocating utility lines in preparation for Blue Line construction. This work is scheduled to last approximately three weeks and will impact IndyGo’s Route 8.
After April 6, there will be a two-week closure of westbound traffic along Washington St. between Layman and Audubon. Crews will continue work at various smaller locations in the segment between Irvington Ave. and Arlington.
Southbound motorist traffic on Ritter Avenue will detour using Pleasant Run Parkway North Drive, Arlington Avenue and Washington Street. Northbound traffic on Ritter Avenue will detour using Washington Street, Emerson Avenue, New York Street and East Pleasant Run Parkway North Drive. Local access will be maintained for residents and businesses along Ritter Avenue.
IndyGo Bus 8 will be detoured for six weeks, using Arlington and Pleasant Run Parkway North to Emerson, English, and Brookville Rd.
Businesses in the heart of historic Irvington are asking locals to continue patronizing their shops and restaurants during this difficult time.
