U.S. 36 Expansion: Chaos to Come

Big roadwork is underway between Indianapolis and Avon on U.S. 36 (Rockville Road), adding lanes and upgrading bridges and storm drains for a multi-year project costing over $40 million. While the current phase ends this year, full completion isn’t expected until late 2027 or even 2028. Drivers and businesses are feeling the pain—commutes are doubling, delivery routes are shifting, and safety risks are rising as people cut through parking lots. A previously closed Bridgeport Road section has reopened, but the main U.S. 36 work is still in early stages, delayed by utility issues. INDOT says the long-term payoff is worth the short-term headaches. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
