INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – A DigIndy tunnel project designed to clean up waterways in Indianapolis will close parts of Meridian and 28th streets from Jan. 2-Oct. 31, 2018.

Meridian Street will be closed at 28th Street, and 28th Street will be closed east of Illinois Street to Pennsylvania Street, according to Citizens Energy Group.

Detour routes will be posted at 30th Street from the north and Fall Creek Parkway from the south, according to a release from Citizens Energy.
