IndyGo's continued Red Line rapid transit construction claims another Indianapolis street, restricting traffic on Capitol Avenue.

Starting Nov. 12, shifted lanes will be enforced on Capitol Avenue, shutting down the west side of the road from 18th Street to Washington Street, according to an IndyGo press release. Restrictions are expected to be in place through Dec. 31.

Parking will be restricted on both sides of Capitol Avenue and the bicycle lane will be closed. All entrances to driveways and parking lots will remain accessible on both sides of the road.

Drivers should acknowledge traffic signs during construction to relocate utilities and improve ADA ramps, curbs, drainage, pavement, pedestrian crossings and sidewalks.

Phase 1 of the Red Line project began in June on Shelby Street and expanded to Meridian Street in early August.

Work is expected to continue on Meridian Street from 18th through 38th streets until spring 2019. Shelby Street construction should be complete sometime this winter.

















The 13-mile Red Line project costs approximately $96.3 million and will run between The University of Indianapolis and Broad Ripple. The Red Line is expected to be completed by summer 2019.
