Project to fix Binford Boulevard to start Monday

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Motorists who take Binford Boulevard to get to and from downtown already know the road is in bad shape.

Some massive potholes have opened up in the last few weeks. Crews have been patching them the past couple of days.

On Friday, the city announced a massive construction project to permanently fix the potholes.

Starting Monday, the Department of Public Works will resurface the road from from the State Fairgrounds at 38th Street to the entrance to Interstate 69 just south of 75th Street.

Improvements will also be made at all 16 intersections in between.

The work will include traffic signal modernization, new street name signs, curb ramps for pedestrian accessibility, and new or refreshed pavement markings.

The project will wrap up in November. Total cost of the project is more than $5 million.
