The City of Fishers will begin work on a new roundabout at 126th Street and Ford Road, just west of State Road 37, in March of 2020, following the approval of a $1.69 million bid from Rieth-Riley Construction.  According to the city engineering department, the work on the roundabout should begin at roughly the same time as work begins in earnest to reconstruct the 126th Street interchange with State Road 37.

The roundabout is projected to be complete by early July of next year.

Property owners adjacent to the 126th Street intersection with Ford Road have hired a police officer to direct traffic during busy traffic times for a number of years, just to allow traffic to move in that area.  Officials say access for local residents and businesses in the area will continue during the construction period.

The bid was approved by the Fishers Board of Public Works and Safety at a Friday morning meeting.
