Numerous infrastructure improvement projects are underway this season to advance community goals, including safety, sustainability, accessibility, equity, economic vitality, and quality of life in Bloomington. The City will provide regular public updates on a range of these improvements as they progress.
Hidden River Pathway Project The Hidden River Pathway Project is underway to replace the network of culverts that carry the Campus River (formerly the Jordan River) from Dunn Meadow on the Indiana University campus southwest under downtown Bloomington to 1st Street and College Avenue, where it reappears as Clear Creek. Over the next two years, City of Bloomington Utilities (CBU) and its contractor, Milestone Contractors, LLP will be reconstructing 1,829 feet of these culverts. In addition to stormwater improvements, some reconstruction of sanitary sewers and water main infrastructure will be simultaneously completed to support Bloomington’s vibrant downtown. This week, crews are forming the first section of the box culvert on South Washington Street between East Third Street and Smith Avenue and preparing to pour the connection to the existing culvert structure. At the same time, relocation of sanitary pipes and structures continues on South Lincoln Street. The eastern side of Lincoln will be closed for several weeks during installation. Traffic will continue to flow on the western side of the street. Bunger & Robertson is excited to welcome Bailey Anstead to our Legal Team.
