Georgia Street project still not completed

Updated:

INDIANAPOLIS - A major downtown construction project is now projected to be completed by Thursday.

Despite an earlier announcement by city officials that Georgia Street would reopen Wednesday evening, the busy street remains closed.

Kara Brooks, a DPW public information officer, said the contractor had previously estimated that crews would finish the project early, reopening the street by 8:30 Wednesday night. Brooks, who said she didn't know what prevented the crews from finishing, says the contractor now says the work will be completed on Thursday.

She said the contractor has until November 1 to complete the project, and could earn an early completion bonus if they do so.

Asked if the administration was disappointed that the project wasn't completed by the Wednesday 8:30 projection, she said, "No, we'll be just as excited Thursday if they complete the work then, since it's still an early completion."
