I posted a story January 23rd after the Fishers Board of Works and Safety meeting about the planned rerouting of traffic on 116th Street east of I-69.  I received a summary in that meeting, and have had many questions about how traffic will be closed, detoured and rerouted during this year’s HSE spring break.

Fishers City Engineering Department Director Jeff Hill provided more details on what will happen during this project.  Eastbound traffic lanes will be closed.  The eastbound lanes will be shifted to the westbound lanes during this work.  Westbound traffic will be rerouted north on Cumberland Road and turned onto Exit 5 Parkway.  The city plans to adjust the timing on the traffic signals allowing the westbound vehicles to have “through movement” even though it is a detour.  The city plans to put together more detailed graphics and issue news releases, along with social media updates, as spring break is closer in time.

This work is required to allow Marathon Pipeline time for removal of the existing 111 feet of casing around their existing 8 inch pipeline, which runs underneath 116th Street.

Hamilton Southeastern Schools Spring Break will be March 31 through April 7th this school year.
