Indiana Traffic
(Photo Credit: Getty Images) Hello south side! The road gods still forsake you. On Wednesday (1/29), two sections of road will close for various utility work. One will reopen later Wednesday – either late in the afternoon or in the early evening – the other will stay closed through most of the day Friday (1/31). […]
A sewer project on Pennsylvania St. has drivers bobbing and weaving between work zones. Downtown Indianapolis has old infrastructure, like sewers that have been around since they hanged Billy the Kid. If these sewers could talk, I’m sure they’d have incredible stories to tell about how our stuff has dramatically changed over the last century […]
A leg of Illinois St. has already on the south part of downtown. Drivers will have to reroute around the closure from now through the first half of next year. Stop me if you’ve heard this one. Illinois St., a northbound one-way that’s especially talented at funnelling traffic off of eastbound I-70, is scheduled (again) […]
(Photo Credit: Beyond Monumental, beyondmonumental.org) Last weekend, that gang at the Home and Garden Show (Saturdays, 9am – 1pm) was talking about accidently moving the program out of the illustrious downtown studios on the wrong weekend. The goal, as I understand it, was to broadcast somewhere other than smack dab in the epicenter of the Monumental […]
(Photo Credit: @daviddrake2) In a second, we’ll look at a couple of projects that continue to torment west side and Speedway drivers, but first let’s get this out of the way: Weekend road work on the interstates will last into November. Ugh. According to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), a couple spots of rough weather has […]

I’ve wrapped my head in gauze so I’m unable to find the comprehensive list of ramp closures and lane restrictions for this weekend. This is good, because honestly, I didn’t know there was this much interstate in Indianapolis, […]
We gave the road roulette wheel a hefty spin for this weekend, and low and behold it landed on “south side” for like the thousandth time this construction season. Johnson County to downtown drivers need to polish off their U.S. 31 boots and dust off their special rerouting underwear, because construction season is still on. […]
(Photo Credit: WISH TV) Prepare yourselves, downtown commuters. We’re losing a key interchange on I-70 this Monday, and the closure lands smack dab in the middle of rush hour while lasting a whole week. The heavily travelled ramps to and from I-70 and Meridian St. will close Monday morning (9/23) at 4am so crews can […]
My ancestors used to spin a yarn for the youngsters. They said lighting a candle in a dark bathroom and chanting “I-465 sucks” three times would summon a paver that would flatten you. Legend goes, do it in tongues and you’ll immaculately conceive a traffic cone (it doesn’t birth by natural means, again according to […]
We have another big honkin’ closure happening Friday night. This one is going to last nine days, during which you’ll miss your flight, get fired, and find your significant other shacked up with a sexy dairy farmer. A positive? The closure will reintroduce east-west travelers to the panoramic views of I-465 on the south side. Check […]
