Blue Line Now
Blue Line Now serves as a snapshot of the construction work for the Blue Line. Below, you will find a high-level overview of the project, important construction and utility work, and motorist and rider impacts. For more specific details, please review the Blue Line webpages listed above.
Blue Line Summary
The Blue Line 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.
Beyond transit, the project also brings new street paving, improved sidewalks and pedestrian crossings, and ADA-compliant curb ramps to the Washington Street corridor, making it safer and more accessible for all.
IndyGo is committed to supporting residents, businesses and neighborhoods along the corridor. To access resources and stay updated on project construction, sign up for the Blue Line newsletter here.
Blue Line Construction
IndyGo’s work on the Blue Line, its third Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line, has partially closed three parts of Washington Street. See major motorist detours and rider maps below for more details. To learn more about utility work along the Blue Line, click here.
Utility Outages and Relocations
Experiencing a water or natural gas outage? Many underground utility lines must be relocated before Blue Line construction crews can fully begin their work. Citizens coordinates the required relocation of water, sewer and natural gas lines. This work may require a temporary service disconnection (generally lasting fewer than eight hours), but crews will work to reconnect service as soon as possible. Citizens hosts an online map of reported utility outages as well as a map of ongoing construction which includes utility work for the Blue Line. While not all outages or construction areas may be entirely represented on these maps, they are good tools to determine whether the outage or construction you are encountering is related to Blue Line.
