Construction to begin for added travel lanes on U.S. 36 in Indianapolis
INDIANAPOLIS -The Indiana Department of Transportation announces the start of added travel lane construction on U.S. 36 (Rockville Road) in Indianapolis.
Beginning on or after Monday, March 2, crews will begin nightly lane closures between Raceway Road and Transfer Drive for the first phase of construction for the Modern Rockville Road project, which will add a third lane in each direction between Raceway Road and I-465. Utility relocations will remain ongoing between Transfer Drive and I-465, resulting in periodic lane closures as needed.
During the first phase of construction, drivers can expect to see the left lanes closed in both directions between the hours of 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. During phase one, crews will begin removing the concrete median and paving the roadway. This phase is anticipated to last one construction season.
INDOT encourages drivers to use caution, slow down, and avoid distractions in and around work zones.
