INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana University Health has announced upcoming closures on Capitol Avenue as construction continues for its new 44-acre health campus in downtown Indianapolis.
According to a news release, all southbound lanes on Capitol Avenue between 14th and 16th Streets will be shut down beginning on Feb. 24. The closures come as IU Health is moving forward with underground utility construction work related to its brand-new IU Health campus.
The release added that motorists traveling southbound on Capitol Avenue will be detoured to Meridian Street and that the sidewalk near the eastern portion of the roadway will remain open.
The closures are expected to last until March 5.
Residents using the IndyGo Red Line and Purple Lines will continue to be available, making stops at 14th Street and Capitol Avenue. Meanwhile, the southbound Red Line and Purple Line buses will continue to travel northbound without picking or dropping off passengers.
According to previous reports, the $4.29 billion campus will feature three 16-story hospital towers with 864 beds and additional buildings housing the IU Medical School, research laboratories, labs and clinics, and retail space.
IU Health’s downtown hospital is expected to open sometime in the fourth quarter of 2027.
