Five hundred sandbags will be made available to the Rocky Ripple and Ravenswood neighborhoods.

The Indianapolis Department of Public Works announced today, that the Central Avenue bridge over Fall Creek, will close due to erosion occurring along the east side of the bridge.

Between Dec. 26 and Jan. 31, trees can be dropped off at nine Indy Parks locations.

After Friday, all leaves must be placed inside the 96-gallon cart in order to be picked up.

Each household may dispose of as many as 40 bags of leaves each week during the collection window on their regular trash day.

The closure is a part of the construction improvements for the Tibbs Avenue and 10th Street intersection improvement project. Improvements to this intersection include new traffic signals, asphalt pavement widening, resurfacing, new concrete sidewalks, and the addition of ADA access ramps.

The Indianapolis Department of Public Works is reminding residents of altered trash pick-up schedules due to the Christmas and New Year's holiday.

Residents can learn more about a new tool that calculates storm water usage fees based on impervious surfaces.
