In addition to the Monon Boulevard expansion project in the Midtown and Arts & Design District area, the Monon Greenway from 96th Street to Gradle Drive will undergo some repairs and resurfacing this year. It will also have some new bollards installed, but none of these improvements will affect the footprint of the greenway in this section.
Plans have been created that will result in the least negative impact to the public. The detours created to accommodate this project result in a possible two-mile addition, depending on your exact route. A temporary sidewalk will be installed along 96th Street to connect the existing sidewalk with the detour. Signs will be posted to help direct greenway users along the detour. The route, if you are northbound, will be from the Monon, west along 96th Street, north on College Avenue to 106th Street, east on 106th Street to Monon. Reverse this route for southbound greenway traffic.
The project will begin on or after April 16 and is anticipated to last approximately one month. It will be completed in phases with two short phases at the beginning and end and one longer one in the middle. Phase 3 information and map will be coming soon. If you have questions about the project, please call 317-573-4044.
