Construction on Broad Ripple Avenue continues
Indianapolis, Indiana – Broad Ripple Avenue between Winthrop and Guilford Avenue will be closed for at least the next four months.
This is phase one of a massive infrastructure project to prevent flooding. “Tuesday and Wednesday basically there were no customers at all the whole day,” said Stu Xie, Sushi Bar manager.
The restaurant already suffered during the COVID-19 pandemic, and he’s worried the construction will make things worse. “The weather has been pretty good these days, but the construction brings in a lot of dirt, and people don’t want to sit outside, as you can see all the restaurants here have a patio,” said Xie.
Union Jack Pub also has a patio, which did not have very many people using it Friday. “Weeks kind of fluctuate as far as business, but it doesn’t seem like based on these four days there is an indication of it going south,” said Luke Basile, manager of Union Jack Pub.
Despite the inconvenience, Basile is hopeful the project will benefit the area. “I think it’s been a little while since Broad Ripple has had a facelift. I am hopeful that it pretties things up a little bit” Basile said.
