Heads up, Bloomington! Third Street between Walnut Street and College Avenue will be closed for a week starting Tuesday, August 25, as work continues on the Bloomington Convention Center.
This closure will allow crews to build new curbs, sidewalks, crosswalks, medians, asphalt paving, and a bus pull-off—improvements that will make our streets safer and more accessible for everyone.
Please plan ahead for detours and give yourself a little extra time to get where you’re going.
Once complete, the expanded Convention Center will help our city attract more conferences and events, bringing more visitors to local hotels, restaurants, and shops—boosting our economy, especially during slower times of year.
The City of Bloomington is facilitating the street closure, but is not leading the construction project itself.
