As crews move into the full construction phase of the project, Broad Ripple Avenue from College to Winthrop will be completely shut down to drivers. That's expected to begin in the middle of the summer and last for 135 days.
INDIANAPOLIS — Drivers, be aware: if you plan on grabbing a bite to eat or doing some shopping along broad ripple avenue, you might want to plan ahead.
“In terms of the construction, I’m hopeful that a lot of the people that live around here kind of used to having to maneuver around and parking and that kind of stuff,” Ripple Bagel and Deli owner Todd Moore said. “The city has been pretty good so far about trying to keep Broad Ripple Avenue open or Guilford open and still have areas for people to park along the street."
“It’s definitely going to present a challenge and I’m confident that we are going to get through it,” Moore said.“I’m hopeful that people from sort of out of town won't avoid the area,” Moore said.
