Be aware of construction projects along Commercial Drive and the Municipal Complex included in the latest road work report.
Below is the listing for the work week that starts Monday, Aug. 7, as provided by the City of Fishers.
COMMERCIAL DRIVE
On Monday, Aug. 7, at 9 a.m., Commercial Drive on the south side of 116th Street will be closed for 10 days. 116th Street will remain open, though the lanes may be narrowed for safety at the intersection. This full closure will allow the contractor to replace the concrete panels and crosswalk at 116th Street and will allow for the addition of a northbound right turn lane. Access into Wendy’s and Starbucks will be maintained from the south. Traffic will be detoured from Lantern Road to South Street.
MUNICIPAL COMPLEX
On Friday, Aug. 11, Municipal Drive will be closed from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. directly in front of City Hall, along with the pass-through road near Liberty Plaza that accesses the Depot parking garage for the Stigma Free Fishers event. All diagonal parking spaces directly next to the Central Green (both east and west parking areas) will be closed for the entire day.
116th STREET
Periodic lane restrictions will occur on 116th Street west of Allisonville Road as the contractor repairs concrete curbs and ramps and begins resurfacing work on the roadway. Restrictions will be in place between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Please drive with caution.
There will also be lane restrictions on 116th Street between I-69 and Cumberland Road throughout the summer in order for the contractor to make improvements to 116th Street.
113th STREET
Lane restrictions will occur on 113th Street from Olio Road to Florida Road throughout the summer in order for the contractor to resurface and make improvements to the roadway.
CUMBERLAND ROAD
There will be lane restrictions on Cumberland Road at 116th Street while the new turn lanes are being poured. Flaggers will be in placed when necessary. Please drive with caution as this project is being completed.
126th STREET
Expect periodic lane restrictions between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on 126th Street between Allisonville Road and Lantern Road while the contractor installs passing blisters near Reserve at Lantern. Flaggers will be on site to direct traffic during the restrictions.
ALLISONVILLE ROAD
Starting Thursday, Aug. 10 (weather permitting), the outside northbound lane on Allisonville Road just north of 116th Street will be closed for approximately three days while a new gas service is being installed for Kroger.
96th STREET
Construction has begun on the new roundabout at 96th Street and Lantern Road. 96th Street traffic between Kincaid Drive and Fitness Lane/Pinecreek Drive will be reduced to one lane in each direction throughout the summer.
BROOKS SCHOOL ROAD
The Brooks School Road bridge over Interstate 69 is closed as Milestone Contractors rebuild the bridge deck. Traffic will be detoured to Promise Road via 126th and 136th streets. The bridge will remain closed until August.
136TH AND PRAIRIE BAPTIST ROAD
The Hamilton County Highway Department has closed the intersection of 136th Street and Prairie Baptist Road to allow the contractor to reconstruct the intersection. The closure is scheduled to last approximately 60 days. Please follow signs for detour routes. Questions regarding this project may be directed to the Hamilton County Highway Department at (317) 773-7770.
STATE ROAD 37
Contractors have begun work a $1.5 million drainage structure construction project on State Road 37 between 146th Street and Greenfield Avenue in Noblesville.
The first phase of construction will shift two lanes in each direction toward the right shoulders to provide room for construction in the median. The second phase will shift traffic toward the median to allow construction to be completed along the outside shoulders. All work on the project is expected to be complete this summer.
Geotechnical drilling began along the State Road 37 corridor in May as part of the final design phase of State Road 37 Improvement Project. Lane and shoulder restrictions will be active through Sept. 30.
The geotechnical drilling will cause lane restrictions on SR 37 at the 126th Street intersection on or after Aug. 7 and are anticipated to last until Sept. 30. There will be no lane closures during Labor Day weekend, Sept. 1 through 4. Southbound restrictions begin after 9 a.m. daily and northbound restrictions will be completed daily before 4 p.m. to allow for maximum traffic flow during peak rush hours. Crews will maintain a minimum of one through-lane at all times.
The SR37 improvement project is a $124 million joint project between Fishers, Hamilton County, Noblesville and INDOT. Questions or concerns may be directed to drivefishers@fishers.in.us.
