Indianapolis, IN – Drivers in downtown Indianapolis will see continued traffic disruptions as Capitol Avenue remains closed between Louisiana and South Streets. The closure is part of the ongoing Union Station Rehabilitation Project, which aims to repair and modernize the Union Station overpass.
According to IMPD News, construction crews are completing structural repairs on the bridge and surrounding infrastructure. The project, managed by the City of Indianapolis, is expected to continue through Spring 2026.
Detours have been set up for motorists and event-goers heading to Lucas Oil Stadium. Drivers using the ADA drop-off route should detour via McCarty and Illinois Streets, while those parking in the South Lot are advised to use Merrill Street to reach Capitol Avenue. Clear signage and route maps have been posted around the area to guide traffic during events and daily commutes.
Officials are reminding drivers to plan extra travel time, particularly on weekends or during major events downtown. The city encourages residents to monitor local updates for changes to detour routes as work progresses.
