INDIANAPOLIS — Fall Creek Parkway has reopened to traffic ahead of schedule.

The Indianapolis Department of Public Works temporarily closed Fall Creek Parkway around Evanston Avenue and 42nd Street on April 15 for construction.

Crews were removing railroad tracks as part of a project to expand the Nickel Plate Trail. The construction was set to be completed by April 30 but has opened six days earlier than expected.

The Department of Public Works estimates the Nickel Plate Trail extension will be completed by mid-2025.
