The Indianapolis Cultural Trail Extension
From Madame Walker to the 16 Tech Bridge
The Indianapolis Cultural Trail (ICT) extension on Indiana Avenue is approximately one mile long. It connects the Madame Walker Legacy Center to the 16 Tech Bridge and all the wonder it accesses per this link. What follows is a brief overview of what this new extension looks like.
When you ride the ICT north through the Indiana/Purdue University campus,
after you reach Michigan St,, the next major intersection is Indiana Avenue. After you make your way through the island,
a right turn will take you to the Madam Walker about two blocks away. While a left will take you to the hospitals on 10th St and the all new bridge over Fall Creek.
At the colorful stained glass sculpture at the corner of Indiana Avenue and St. Clairs St., you will need to stop and cross Indiana Avenue at the light controlled intersection and continue against traffic on the ICT. Also at the sculpture, you can turn right and after you cross busy West Street, four blocks away, another long block will take you to the Indy Canal!
As you ride against traffic toward 10th, on your left, behind the black wrought iron fence is an apartment complex mostly made up of students. On both sides of you are thousands of new plants.
Before you reach next major intersection, University Blvd., a shopping center will appear on your right. it is filled with restaurants and eateries from many different ethnic persuasions.
From University Blvd., the trail continues for a quarter of a mile before it reaches 10th St. Where is curves to pass in front of the hospitals, is where this video begins.
The video ends across the street from the brand new 16 Tech bridge.
