INDIANAPOLIS — Some Downtown Indianapolis streets impacted by the North Split reconstruction project will remain closed longer than expected this month.
The Indiana Department of Transportation said Thursday that the streets include Ohio Street, 10th Street and Market Street.
“It was determined that to maximize construction efforts it would be more efficient to leave some streets closed so work could continue now and reduce the frequency and duration of future closures,” an INDOT news release said.
