Bloomington, Indiana – Bloomington’s June street work will move into another active week as city crews continue improvements meant to make roads, parking areas, crosswalks, and key downtown corridors easier and safer to use.

The City of Bloomington said planned street and parking infrastructure work will continue during the week of June 8, with pavement marking installation scheduled at several locations across the city. The work will include the painted markings drivers, cyclists, pedestrians, and transit users rely on every day, such as lane lines, arrows, crosswalks, bike lane symbols, stop bars, and other guide markings placed on the roadway.

City officials said the schedule depends on weather conditions. If the weather allows, crews will begin on Tuesday, June 9, along W 6th Street from N Rogers Street to N Morton Street. Work is also planned that day on W 7th Street from N Rogers Street to the B-Line, as well as on N Madison Street from W 3rd Street to W 7th Street.

On Wednesday, June 10, pavement marking installation is scheduled for E 9th Street from N Morton Street to N Walnut Street, along with E 10th Street from N Morton Street to N Walnut Street.

Later in the week, the work will shift to S Henderson Street. Crews are expected to be in that area on Thursday, June 11, and Friday, June 12, from E Hillside Drive to E 3rd Street.

While the work is underway, the city is asking people to move carefully through the affected areas. Drivers, cyclists, pedestrians, and transit riders are encouraged to use caution near crews and equipment. People traveling through or parking near the scheduled maintenance locations should also allow extra time, as some parking spaces may be temporarily unavailable while the improvements are being completed.

The pavement marking work is part of a wider push by Bloomington Public Works to maintain and upgrade transportation infrastructure, especially in and around downtown. Crews continue to work on crosswalks, accessible curb ramps, traffic signal improvements, curb changes, stormwater infrastructure, median islands, bumpouts, and other corridor updates.

The city’s ongoing work also includes routine street repairs across Bloomington. As of June 2, Public Works crews had addressed 6,242 potholes citywide this year, according to the city.

The June schedule reflects the city’s continued effort to keep up with both visible and behind-the-scenes infrastructure needs. Fresh pavement markings may seem simple, but they play a daily role in helping people understand where to drive, walk, bike, stop, cross, and park. With several corridors scheduled for work in the coming days, residents and visitors should expect some temporary disruptions, but the city says the improvements are part of continued maintenance across Bloomington’s street and parking network.
