Beaty Construction Inc. is set to shift traffic and begin construction on State Road 37 and Strawtown Avenue the week of April 9, weather permitting.

The $1.6 million project is set to build a roundabout at SR 37 and Strawtown Avenue and begin a bridge deck overlay on SR 37 over the White River in Strawtown, northeast of Noblesville.

Crews will begin installing a temporary signal on SR 37 the week of April 2 for the 90 day restriction. The first traffic switch is scheduled for the week of April 9. The final traffic switch on SR 37 is scheduled for mid-May.

Strawtown Avenue will be closed for up to 90 days. Detour signs will direct traffic around the construction site via Madison Street, SR 37, 216th Street, Victory Chapel Road and Craig Avenue.

Strawtown Avenue and SR 37 will be fully open to traffic in fall 2018.
