INDIANAPOLIS — Construction on the Nickel Plate Trail on the north side of Indianapolis is beginning to ramp up.
Crews closed parts of Fall Creek Parkway to expand the trail to the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
Some drivers say more construction is causing them more headaches.
"It's really just, like, too many detours for me," Chemise Warren said.
Both directions of Fall Creek Parkway North Drive will be closed at Evanston Avenue near the Indiana State Fairgrounds through April 30.
Crews will remove the railroad crossing there, stretching across Fall Creek Parkway.
Detours won't last too much longer — not satisfying news for others.
"I don't think I would ever move on this side of town," Sofia Romancastaneda said. "It's really annoying. It makes your drive longer, and sometimes even to get out the house to go somewhere that has to be on this side of town, you have to think, plan out how long it's going to take you."
13News spotted several drivers perhaps ignoring the posted signs on 38th Street when making a left onto Fall Creek Parkway. They were forced to make a U-turn due to a barricade blocking parts of the road. Access is only granted to those needing access into the fairgrounds.
"They have been doing construction for awhile, especially planning for the bus line, so everything does change, but at the end of the day, just be aware of what you're doing and where you're going," Kyra Lee said.
Warren said she can't wait until all construction is complete.
"From the highway to this, it's just like they start on something, and they take forever instead of just finishing," Warren said. "Like the highway took longer than what they actually even said, and I hate that they cut off how you can get off on Meridian. You can't get off on Meridian no more. That was so stupid. I have to go all the way around to 21st Street just to get off the highway. It's ridiculous."
