Downed traffic light shuts down 52nd and Keystone intersection

UPDATE: The intersection of 52nd Street and Keystone Avenue reopened shortly before 1 p.m. Thursday following repairs to traffic signals at the intersection, the Indianapolis Department of Public Works confirmed.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Downed traffic lights have closed the intersection of 52nd Street and Keystone Avenue on the north side of Indianapolis.

“An AES pole was hit overnight near the intersection of Keystone & 52nd Street, causing live power lines to break away and fall onto the traffic signals below, causing major damage. Crews are working to restore the signals. Please use caution near the area,” the Indianapolis Department of Public Works said on Twitter.

Police placed a temporary road closed sign and orange traffic cones in the intersection to keep drivers away.

It’s unclear how long repairs will take or when the intersection will reopen.
