Purple Line Construction Street Closure Impacts

For the safety of riders and construction workers, there will be impacts to bus stops and routes when necessary. Temporary stops will be provided wherever possible. During times when construction must occur immediately adjacent to bus stops, those stops may need to be relocated or closed temporarily.

Be an informed rider during construction using this resource page to stay updated on anticipated service impacts. The timelines listed below are early estimates. For the latest real-time service changes, visit our Rider Alerts webpage or follow @IndyGoRiderAlerts on Twitter.
