The Indianapolis Board of Public Works awarded a $2.6 million contract to locally-based Morphey Construction Inc. to rebuild a one-block stretch of Market Street west of Monument Circle, the city announced Wednesday.
The contract is part of $10.2 million reconstruction project to Market Street on both the east and west sides of Monument Circle, but it’s only the latest in the city’s wide-ranging list of major transportation and infrastructure projects.
“There is an incredible amount of construction work going on, and I appreciate that from time to time, commuters get annoyed,” said Mayor Joe Hogsett at a news conference Wednesday, before the contract was approved. “But, at the end of the day, we are very excited about the long-overdue and long-awaited overhaul.”
