INDIANAPOLIS — Construction can be a headache in itself, with delays impacting travel time. But one project on Indy's southside is now causing delays for ambulance services.One is on Emerson between Stop 11 and Southport Crossing. The other on Emerson between Stop 11 and Countyline.Some people say they're frustrated because the construction limits cars ability to turn certain directions at lights.
Trisler called the project a headache and said it causes her more time to get to places she needs to be."If you had to get to the hospital it'd be hard to get there, right. You wouldn't want to be in an emergency to get there," she said. The healthcare system says they are experiencing some ambulance delays, but also tell us they talk with their EMS network daily to figure out the best routes for those ambulances to take to and from the hospital to reduce delays.
Franciscan Health Indianapolis receives ambulances from various Greater Indianapolis agencies every day. The EMS professionals working on those ambulances are accustomed to the challenges presented by construction and other traffic situations. They also have the authority to utilize their lights and sirens when a time-critical situation arises.
