NewsroomUpcoming Blue Line Construction Work
INDIANAPOLIS — The first major closure and detours for Blue Line construction will start Monday, July 14. Washington Street will be closed from Koehne Street to White River Parkway for approximately one month. This storm sewer construction will include a full closure on Washington Street at the intersection of Harding and Washington streets. See motorist detour and rider maps below.
The Blue Line is IndyGo’s third Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line and will run 24 miles, connecting the Indianapolis International Airport to the Town of Cumberland via downtown Indianapolis along I-70, Holt Road and Washington Street. The line is scheduled to open for service in 2028. Once complete, it will offer faster, safer and more reliable service.
IndyGo is committed to supporting residents, businesses and neighborhoods along the corridor during construction through resources like our community toolkit, construction liaison and weekly virtual office hours. You can access these tools and receive the latest updates on the anticipated construction schedule, planned detours and other key details directly in your inbox by signing up for the Blue Line newsletter on our website here.
