INDIANAPOLIS — East Washington Street will be closed to eastbound traffic between Emerson and Ritter avenues for storm sewer construction soon according to IndyGo. Westbound access will be maintained in a single lane during construction. Construction is expected to last approximately 160 days, weather permitting — around the first week in December.
IndyGo suggests motorists use South Emerson to English Ave. to Arlington Ave. as a detour. Please avoid using the small, residential streets in South Irvington as shortcuts, as those streets are not meant for heavy traffic — especially semi-trucks. There are many streets that are one-way, and have many cars parked at the curbs.
Construction will stop in the Irvington area from Oct. 1-31 between Ritter and Ridgeview.
