Binford rehab project to resume aftor Labor Day

Special to The Recorder Corridor to receive major facelift during next year The Indianapolis Department of Public Works will resume construction on the Binford Boulevard corridor from 75 ,h Street to 38 ,h Street starting Sept. 2 when drivers will see significant lane restrictions. Construction will stretch late into the year. During the next tw r o phases of construction, traffic will be restricted to two lanes in each direction on Binford from south of 38 th Street to Keystone Avenue and, utilizing a crossover at 46 th

Street, only one lane in each direction to the project’s northern boundary at 75 th Street. Major improvements, in addition to pavement rehabilitation, include additional left turn lanes at Keystone, Kessler, and 75 th Street, with increased left turn storage capacity at several additional locations throughout the corridor. Additional improvements to Fall Creek Parkway from 38 lh Street to Keystone will include new sidewalk and curb installation, drainage improvements, and the removal of the existing lane control system north of 38 ,h

Street. The lane control system south of 38 u ' Street on Fall Creek Parkway will remain in place after the project, but will be disabled during the 12 weeks of this phase of construction. Work originally started this spring, but was stopped during Indiana Department of Transportation’s closure of the downtown innerloop during Hyperfix.
