INDIANAPOLIS — A popular Indianapolis biking and walking trail is getting an upgrade.
Mayor Joe Hogsett and other city leaders broke ground Wednesday on a project that will widen the Monon Trail between 14th and 56th streets.
Construction on the $1.65 million project could begin as early as next week and will be finished by the end of 2022.
Indy DPW says work on the most southern portion of the trail between 10th and 14th streets will be completed after North Split construction is finished.
