INDIANAPOLIS — On Monday, the ongoing construction of Indiana University’s Health’s new downtown hospital project will impact traffic along Capitol Avenue.
According to a news release, lane restrictions along Capitol Avenue between 16th and 13th Streets are expected to begin starting Monday and are expected to last around one month.
This comes as the hospital relocates its utilities, including telecommunications duct banks and water line installations. Officials said the hospital is expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2027.
Officials said one lane of through traffic and one lane of IndyGo Red Line bus traffic will be open between 16th and 14th streets and a single lane for all traffic will be open between 14th and 13th streets.
The IndyGo Red Line station at 14th Street and North Capitol Avenue will close as the work is completed. Northbound Red Line service will detour using 10th, North Illinois and 16th streets.
Northbound service will be temporarily relocated to the local route stop at 14th and North Illinois streets. Southbound service will not detour and will pick up and drop off passengers at the local bust stop at 12th Street and North Capitol Avenue.
Officials said in the release that all entrances to IU Health Methodist Hospital will remain accessible. Officials encourage drivers to allow for extra commute time and travel with caution in the area.
