 Avon, IN — Residents wondering why little work appears to be taking place at the 10th Street and Raceway Road roundabout project now have an answer. According to the Town of Avon, crews discovered an uncharted clay sanitary sewer line in a critical area where underground road construction must begin. Before roadwork can continue, the sewer line must be relocated. The discovery helps explain why many residents have reported seeing little activity at the construction site in recent weeks despite the intersection remaining closed. Town officials said the sewer relocation requires engineering design, regulatory approvals, and specialized construction work before road construction can resume. Avon recently reported that design work has been completed and preparations are underway to relocate the line. Officials also stated that utility relocation work being performed by three utility companies is continuing as planned and is not expected to delay the overall project. When the intersec...

  Avon, IN — Construction is now underway on a new roundabout at Raceway Road and 10th Street, bringing a major traffic change to one of the town’s busiest intersections. The intersection is now fully closed to through traffic, with the closure expected to last through July 26 , weather permitting. The work is part of Avon’s ongoing effort to improve traffic flow and safety as the town continues to grow. Roundabouts have increasingly been used in the area as a way to handle higher traffic volumes and reduce delays at intersections. Drivers should expect detours and plan for extra travel time while construction is underway. With the intersection completely shut down, there is no direct way through during this phase of the project. While the closure may be frustrating in the short term, the finished roundabout is expected to improve traffic movement and safety once completed.

 900E in Avon has officially reopened at US-36 after being closed for ongoing roundabout construction in the area. Crews have been working to complete the new traffic layout, and the road is now open to drivers once again. With construction wrapped up enough to allow safe travel, traffic is flowing normally in both directions. Drivers should still use caution as they adjust to the new roundabout design, but no major delays are expected. The project is part of continued efforts to improve traffic safety and flow in the area. Officials say additional finishing work may continue nearby, but it will not require further full closures of 900E. Drivers can return to their regular routes and enjoy improved intersection movement.
