Below are road construction updates for the City of Fishers beginning the week of Monday, Sept. 25.
116th Street
Beginning on Monday, Sept. 25 (weather permitting), one lane of westbound 116th Street will be closed between Municipal Drive and Fishers Pointe Boulevard for utility work.
Lane restrictions will be in place between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. in each direction of 116th Street west of Brooks School Road as crews complete median work in front of Simply Dental. Work is expected to be complete by the end of the week. Signage and flaggers will be present during the restrictions.
Periodic lane restrictions will occur on 116th Street east 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 note that overnight work will occur while traffic volumes are reduced. The City greatly appreciates residents’ patience with construction noise.
126th Street
Possible lane restrictions may occur on 126th Street near Parkside Drive while utility work is completed.
Periodic lane restrictions will occur between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on 126th Street between Allisonville Road and Lantern Road as crews complete a passing blister. Flaggers will be present during the restrictions.
Interstate 69
Improvements are currently underway to rehabilitate existing bridges, pavement and drainage structures along the 15-mile stretch of interstate. Two lanes of traffic in each direction of I-69 are currently shifted to accommodate construction of the additional travel lanes. Signs direct large trucks to use the left lane while traffic is shifted toward the right shoulder through the work zone. The speed limit is reduced to 60 mph and further reduced to 50 mph when workers are present.
I-69 is expected to open to three lanes in each direction between State Road 37 and State Road 38 before the end of this year. Questions about this project should be directed to INDOT at eastcentralin@indot.in.gov or 1-855-463-6848.
State Road 37
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 until Sept. 30. 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 SR 37 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.
