Indianapolis, Indiana – Construction to widen U.S. 36 on the west side begins Monday, prompting overnight lane closures and traffic adjustments.
According to INDOT West Central, crews will begin adding a third travel lane along U.S. 36 as part of the Modern Rockville Road project. Work is scheduled to start on or after Monday, March 2.
Nightly lane closures are planned between Raceway Road and Transfer Drive. Utility relocation work will also take place west of Transfer Drive to Interstate 465, according to INDOT.
Officials said this phase of construction is expected to continue through the current construction season. Drivers traveling between Avon and Indianapolis may experience delays during overnight hours as crews complete roadway widening and related infrastructure improvements.
The U.S. 36 corridor serves as a primary commuter route between Hendricks County and Marion County. Students, service workers, and overnight shift employees who rely on the route may see travel times increase during active work periods.
INDOT urges motorists to reduce speed in work zones, watch for changing traffic patterns, and allow extra travel time.
Additional updates will be provided as construction progresses.
