INDIANAPOLIS (Feb. 24, 2025) – The Indiana Department of Transportation announce
s the start of intermittent single-lane closures on Rockville Road (U.S. 36) west of I-465, with the majority of work happening between Raceway Road and Girls School Road.
The lane closures, which are in both eastbound and westbound directions, ensure the safety of crews who will be relocating utilities ahead of construction as part of the Modern Rockville Road improvement project.
Modern Rockville Road will bring added capacity to roads, bridges and storm drains. Work in this phase of the project is expected to last through December 2025 but is weather-dependent and subject to change. Major roadwork in the three-mile corridor is planned for the 2026 and 2027 construction seasons. INDOT encourages drivers to use caution while traveling in and around all work zones.
Modern Rockville Road is focused on addressing traffic congestion due to U.S. 36 currently having just four travel lanes, crash conflict points with left-turning vehicles, poor drainage in shoulders, and lack of sidewalks for pedestrians.
