North Split construction may impact holiday travel

MARION CO. – The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) asks motorists to plan ahead for holiday travel as routes may be impacted by work being performed as part of the North Split Interchange closure.

On Thursday afternoon, just in time for the holiday weekend, Market Street will reopen to traffic.

New York Street is currently closed through December 30, weather dependent, under I-65 between East Street and Pine Street. All eastbound traffic will be redirected to Ohio Street throughout the duration of this closure. All pedestrian traffic will be redirected to Vermont Street.
