Saturday’s Monumental Marathon to close Indianapolis roads, IndyGo stations

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The CNO Financial Indianapolis Monumental Marathon returns Saturday.

The race takes participants through the heart of downtown, past city landmarks, and through historic neighborhoods.

Road restrictions are scheduled at various times beginning at 8 a.m. Organizers say some of the closures could last through 5 p.m., but various streets will reopen as the race progresses.

Impact on IndyGo

The race will also impact IndyGo’s Red Line bus service.

The following stations will be closed until the race is over:

• Vermont
• Statehouse
• New Jersey
• 22nd Street
• Fall Creek/Ivy Tech
• 18th Street and Meridian Street

IndyGo says the Red Line station at Park will experience limited service, operating in two segments, one north of 38th Street and one south of 38th Street.

Passengers continuing south of 38th Street should exit at the temporary stop at 38th and College Avenue and walk one block west to the Park Station.

Passengers continuing north of 38th Street should exit Park Station and walk one block east to 38th and College. 

Red Line stations along Capitol Avenue are closed due to Red Line enhancement construction. For more information about this project, visit the IndyGo website.
