Road Construction

            This is the only road construction that will not only make a road safer, but won’t cause any headaches during rush hour.

            The Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s road course is getting repaved. This is the first time the course has been paved since it was first constructed for the first Formula 1 race in 2001. The course is 2.6 miles, and consists of 16-turns. It is planned to be finished in time for the Red Bull Moto GP event in late August.

            
            It is also thought that a reason the track is getting repaved is because the GRAND-AM series will race at IMS next year. Although that race has not yet been confirmed, there is no reason the track needed to be repaved so there could be just motorcycle races on it.

Paving crews

 I took these pics on my cell phone, so I apologize for the graininess. In the last three pictures, the lower section of pavement is the Moto GP course, the upper section is the oval track. I’m not an expert on asphalt, but it looked like the course was still being prepared to be paved.
