The Fishers City Council approved the deal worked out with the state of Indiana, Hamilton County and Noblesville to basically rebuild State Road 37 from 126th Street north.  The City of Fishers will be paying $12 million as its share of the cost.

Mayor Scott Fadness pointed out the high points of the agreement, including turning the highway back to the state once construction is complete, which means INDOT will be responsible for maintenance of the roadway once it is fully built.  The design phase is expected to last 2-3 years, so construction will not be be starting soon.

The mayor also touted the agreement as giving control of the roadway to the City of Fishers during the construction period.  Mayor Fadness emphasized that he plans to be working with businesses and residents along the highway during the construction phase to minimize the pain for them.
