work.
The top level of the 284-foot-tall landmark on Monument Circle reopened over the weekend. The monument was
closed in mid-September so that crews could fix damage caused by rain leaking into the observation deck.
Officials
say about $450,000 in work was needed, including repairs to the steel supports for the observation deck and the Lady Victory
statue. Crews also installed new vertical windows to prevent the water leaks from the previous slanted windows at the 107-year-old
monument.
Officials plan to remove the Lady Victory statue next summer so it can be re-bronzed.
