Portion of 38th St. will soon close to through traffic
INDIANAPOLIS - Beginning after morning rush hour on Monday, September 11, eastbound W. 38th St., between Cold Springs Rd. and Michigan Rd., will close to through traffic for approximately two weeks.
During the 7-day curing process of the final overlay, divots formed over the White River Bridge causing the pavement to hold pockets of water. This standing water poses a potential safety hazard during periods of heavy rain or freezing conditions.
To repair this hazard, approximately 600-700 ft. of overlay must be removed and replaced. Eastbound W. 38th St. will remain open to Cold Springs and Knollton Roads; however, the city recommends the detour route of I-65 to Exit 117, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd., north on MLK to 38th St. Westbound W. 38th St. is not affected by this closure.
This repair will be financed by the contractor and will add no additional cost to the Update 38 Phase III construction contract.
