Indy DPW to resurface portion of East 86th Street, Center Run Drive

INDIANAPOLIS — Officials with the Indianapolis Department of Public Works announced on Thursday that crews will begin to resurface a portion of East 86th Street and Center Run Drive.

According to a news release from the Indy DPW, crews will begin to resurface East 86th Street and Center Run Drive between Allisonville Road and 82nd Street on Friday. Officials said that this is expected to include an overnight closure of the intersection of Allisonville Road and 86th Street on Sunday.

The release said drivers should expect the following work:

• Friday: Crews will be patching and repaving Center Run Drive and the turn lanes on 86th Street near Costco. All entrances will remain accessible except for periods while waiting for asphalt to compact and cure.
• Sunday night: The intersection of Allisonville Road and 86th Street will be closed from 9 p.m. Sunday to 5 a.m. Monday for overnight paving. Drivers should use East 82nd, 91st or 96th streets as detours. Castle Creek Parkway will stay open and traffic should enter from Center Run Drive via 82nd Street.
• May 20-23: Final paving work will wrap up on 86th Street and Center Run Drive. One lane will stay open and driveways will reopen as soon as the pavement cools and it’s save to drive on.

Officials said after the resurfacing work, crews are expected to install new video detection systems at “key intersections” to help improve signal timing and long-term traffic safety. The release said that signs, cones and barricades will be in place to guide traffic and protect crews.

The release said that temporary pavement markings will be used for now and final striping will be finished at a later date.

“Indy DPW appreciates your patience during this project,” the release said. “Please plan ahead, watch for posted signs, and drive carefully in the work zone.”
