INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Road closures in Indy’s Fountain Square neighborhood were set to begin Monday as part of a Citizens Energy infrastructure project. Two road closures are planned in Fountain Square as crews relocate utility infrastructure required by stormwater system upgrades. Portio ns of Shelby Street between Morris Street and Cottage Avenue have been closed since December for the project. Beginning on or after Monday, Shelby Street will close to vehicles and cyclists between Morris and Prospect streets, fully closing the Morris/Shelby intersection. After work at the Morris intersection is complete, crews will shift northward to work within the three-way intersection of Shelby Street, Prospect Street, and Virginia Avenue. Work is expected to last through the end of March, at which time Indy DPW will transition into full construction on their stormwater infrastructure improvement project. Detour information During the closure, signs will detour north- and southbound vehicle traffic from Shelby Street to parallel Keystone Avenue, by way of Prospect and Raymond streets. Signs will detour eastbound vehicular traffic around the closure using East Street, McCarty Street, and Virginia Avenue. North- and southbound bicyclists will see signs advising the use of Pleasant Run Trail, Spruce Street, and Fletcher Avenue to detour; east- and westbound cyclists will be directed to detour via Spruce Street, Fletcher Avenue, Calvary Street, McCarty Street, and East Street. Detour information IndyGo’s Red Line (Route 90) will detour around the closure to the west, and both the Pleasant Run and Raymond bus platforms will be closed. The Red Line will share Route 13 bus stops on Raymond Street. ...read more read less
