West side of 126th & SR 37 set to close March 1st

 

It has been years in the making, but the State Road 37 reconstruction will begin in earnest Sunday, March 1st.  There have been lane restrictions and some reconfiguration, but the first road closure of any length is set to begin.

The west side of 126th Street and State Road 37 will close to traffic March 1st.  Access to the businesses in the area is still available by using Lantern Road.  There will be no traffic access to cross SR 37 at 126th Street.  The suggested detours are mapped-out using the link below.

Here is the weekly Fishers road construction update, as provided by the city:
