Dan Jones Widening Project

Beginning in 2023, the Town of Avon will be starting a multi-phase projected aptly names "Dan Jones Widening Project". Like the name states, this will be widening Dan Jones. In total, the current plan is for Dan Jones to be widened from Bradford Lane all the way to Northfield Drive. We are diligently working on this project for the community as a whole. Dan Jones is a major transportation route through Avon, and Hendricks County. Widening it will allow Avon to continue to grow responsibly, and keep our residents and visitors safe while traveling.

As mentioned before, the Dan Jones Widening Project is broken down into phases....

PHASE 1 - CSX Main Road to County Road 100 South Roundabout
PHASE 2 - County Road 100 South to South of County Road 150 South
PHASE 3 - US36 to County Road 100 North
PHASE 4 - North of Oriole Way to Bradford Road
PHASE 5 - (Still in development)

Below you will see expandable folders for each phase. We will do our best to keep these folders updated for you with News Alert links, additional documents and more.

FAQs

Will Dan Jones be closed during the construction?

Dan Jones shouldn't be closed during construction. Please note that we not only used italics, but also bold font, to emphasize that word. Some contractors do things that are outside of our control, and as prepared and organized as our Public Works team is, occasionally those contractors will act on their own accord without notifying the Town of Avon. If a road is scheduled to be closed, we will update avonindiana.gov/danjones as soon as possible, as well as send out an alert through our alert system. You can easily sign up for alerts at avonindiana.gov/alerts from a desktop, tablet or mobile device.

What will be happening with the bridge on Dan Jones, just south of US36?

The bridge on Dan Jones is technically under the jurisdiction of Hendricks County and CSX. Although The Town of Avon isn't supervising it's construction, we are taking measures to try to stay up to date with all that is happening. What does that mean to residents and those that are passing through? Primarily it means that construction can starts whenever Hendricks County wants it to start. To our most recent knowledge, the bridge project is hoping to bid out this year (2023) with a possible start time of 2024. If you would like more information about the bridge project specifically, you are welcome to reach out to the Hendricks County engineering department at https://www.co.hendricks.in.us/egov/apps/locations/facilities.egov?view=detail&id=6

How long will each one of these "phases" last?

That is a question that we will never be able to 100% answer. We hope to have each phase done as quickly and safely as possible, but putting an end date on each phase would be unreliable. Things happen while construction occurs, and while we hope that nothing causes a delay, the truth is there are some things that are outside of our control. Placing a "completion date" or "end date" only opens the floodgates of frustration. This might change over the course of the projects, and if it does, we will happily share a date that can be delivered on.

How do I know if you are going to take part of my yard?

If any part of your property will be needed for the Dan Jones Widening Project, you will be contacted by the Town of Avon well in advance of any construction happening. There are many steps in the process, but simply put, nothing will happen on your property without you having the opportunity to know about it. If you still have concerns, you are welcome to reach out to Public Works Director Steve Moore with your questions.
