Avon Avenue construction project aims to reduce delays

AVON, Ind. (WISH) — A road project now underway should make it easier to get around Avon in the future.

The Avon Avenue project includes a roundabout, trail and a bridge over railroad tracks.

Trains sometimes cause delays of up to 30 minutes. Officials say it’s a serious problem.

A state grant of $1 million is helping to fund the improvements.

The state funding being used in Avon is part of a plan to give back local income tax money that was pass by the General Assembly earlier this year.
