INDIANAPOLIS — The Soldiers and Sailors' Monument is Indianapolis' most iconic landmark. However, one part of the monument is in such bad shape that it will take more than a year to repair.The steps of the monument facing South Meridian Street are now fenced off and closed until at least November 2025. The Indiana War Memorial Commission is spending $10 million to replace the limestone stairs, which have become damaged over time.
Goodwin said the north steps could reopen as soon as this weekend.'We have a saying, you have to get ugly before you get pretty. We've been ugly for a while, and we're getting pretty pretty quickly.'The monument in the circle still attracts tourists and their cameras, even with the construction at its base.'I'm from Seattle, so I always try to find the Space Needle in every town,' said Brett Miller, a tourist visiting Indianapolis.
