COLUMBUS, Ind. — The downtown roundabout that connects 11th Street, Brown Street, Lindsey Street and Indianapolis Road will be closed on Thursday.

According to city engineer Andrew Beckort, this is so that striping can occur, and the closure is only expected to last one day. Some of the area surrounding the roundabout will also be closed so that motorists do not enter the intersection by mistake.

The westbound lane of 11th Street will be closed at Jackson Street, Indianapolis Road will be closed just east of Carl Miske Drive, and the Brown Street entrance to the roundabout will be closed.

When asked about detours, Beckort replied that motorists can take Carl Miske Drive behind the Mill Race Center as an alternative route.

“You can get in off Carl Miske or Eighth Street to get to Mill Race Center or the park,” he added.
