INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Department of Public Works plans to fully close the northbound lanes of Keystone Avenue from south of River Road to north of Woodfield Crossing Boulevard on or after Monday, June 28.
Two-way traffic will be maintained using the southbound lanes of Keystone Avenue with crossovers maintained at key intersections.
Work crews will fully close the intersection of Keystone Avenue and River Road on or after July 12. The intersection will remain closed through late July or early August.
Residents of River Road should use East 71st Street, Dean Road and East 79th Street during the intersection closure.
Lane restrictions will remain in place from 65th Street to River Road until work on that portion of Keystone Avenue is complete.
Crews are scheduled to work Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. with occasional work on Saturdays.
The White River bridge segment from River Road to Woodfield Crossing is expected to be finished in late August before the contractor begins work on the final segment north of Woodfield Crossing up to Interstate 465. All newly improved travel lanes along Keystone Avenue are expected to fully reopen in late October if weather allows crews to remain on schedule.
DPW is rehabilitating segments of Keystone Avenue from 65th Street to I-465 with concrete pavement patching and reconstruction, new disability ramps and curbs, crosswalks, sidewalk repairs and drainage improvements.
Total Keystone Avenue improvement projects will cost Indy DPW more than $13 million.
