The biggest news from the City of Fishers on construction projects deals with upcoming work, not the projects of the coming week.
96th Street and Cumberland Road will be closed for 100 days, beginning March 21st. This will allow for the construction of a roundabout at that location. Those of you using that intersection regularly, particularly during rush hour traffic, should begin planning alternate routes.
Also, Duke Energy will be doing maintenance work throughout the city dealing with vegetation growing around its equipment. The Drive Fishers Web page will be updated regularly about these projects.
Look out for restrictions in the coming week around 116th Street and Commercial Drive, around Lantern Road, near downtown.
Below is the listing provided by the city for the week of March 7th.
