DPW is constructing the Crooked Creek Area Sewer Improvements Project
(Belmont North Relief Interceptor) to resolve sewer capacity problems in
the existing Belmont North Interceptor. One of the city’s most
anticipated and largest initiatives to improve public infrastructure,
the new seven-mile Belmont North Relief Interceptor will be built from
10th Street/Miley Avenue to Juan Solomon Park near Grandview Drive/Fox
Hill Drive.

The Crooked Creek Area Sewer Improvements Project is part of the city’s
Clean Streams-Healthy Neighborhoods program, which is designed to curb
raw sewage overflows into rivers and streams, address chronic flooding,
eliminate failing septic tanks and improve quality of life in
Indianapolis neighborhoods. For more information about Clean
