ALT The first of a series of infographics. In the background is an image taken by drone of a construction site in Indianapolis. Overlayed on the image is the logo for the Indianapolis Department of Public Works (Indy DPW) and some white text, which reads: “BEHIND THE DETOUR SIGN: How Construction Works in Indy.”
ALT The sixth in a series of infographics. There is white text overlayed on an image background. The text reads: “PROJECT SEQUENCING: Difference phases of construction require different specialized crews. For example, the paving crew is not the same crew that installs utilities or pavement markings. One crew may finish work before the next crew is scheduled to begin, creating temporary gaps in activity.” The background image is a stock photo of a bulldozer and excavator on a construction site.
ALT The seventh in a series of infographics. There is white text overlayed on an image background. The text reads: “UNEXPECTED CONDITIONS: Construction sometimes uncovers hidden issues such as poor soil conditions, deteriorated infrastructure, contaminated materials, or unmarked utilities. These conditions often require engineering reviews, design modifications, and approvals before work can safely continue.” The background image is a stock photo of degrading infrastructure.
ALT The eighth and final in a series of infographics. There is white text overlayed on an image background. The text reads: “THE BOTTOM LINE: A project that appears inactive is often still moving forward behind the scenes through inspections, utility coordination, design reviews, material procurement, testing, curing periods, or scheduling of the next phase of work. In some cases, construction uncovers unexpected conditions or reveals information that requires modifications to the original design. Resolving these issues often involves engineering reviews, Requests for Information (RFIs), change directives, and formal change orders to ensure decisions are made with the project’s scope, schedule, budget, and long-term performance in mind. While these procedures can temporarily slow visible progress, they help ensure projects are completed safely, correctly, and responsibly.” The background image is a stock photo of a road.

It reads: “LEAF COLLECTION: The 2026 leaf-collection season start on Monday, November 9. For collection, leaves should be left in bags (up to 40) and placed three to five feet away from trash. Leaves and trash will be collected separately.” Below the text is the logo for the Indianapolis Department of Public Works (Indy DPW).

On the right side of the graphic is an image of a child wearing a mostly black Halloween costume while out trick-or-treating at night. It is recommended that kids wear something that lights up or is reflective if they are out trick-or-treating after dark.
