Nearby business owners expressed concern with the construction — especially Bashar Hugais, owner of the newly-opened Phyre Smokes on 38th Street and Keystone Avenue.

INDIANAPOLIS — IndyGo workers will block off roads starting Thursday for construction of the new Purple Line, which will connect downtown Indianapolis to Lawrence once complete.

“We're looking at some temporary headaches over the next two years, as we do construction for the Purple Line. But that's going to yield a lifetime of happiness when you talk about what this is going to mean for this very vulnerable community,” said IndyGo spokesperson Carrie Black. Hugais just opened his doors on Sunday, and his Thursday Grand Opening celebration coincides with the first day of the road closures.

Hugais also sees potential in the familiar shade of construction barriers, even if it’s a headache for now.
