126th St. work begins west of SR 37, lane restriction on 116th St. downtown

Looking at the barricades on 126th Street West of State Road 37, near Don Hinds Ford

It’s March 1st, the day is sunny and the temperature will reach the 50s, melting most of remaining snow around Fishers.  Spring is not here yet, but March 1st also marks some traffic situations local motorists need to know.

First, the traffic signals at 126th Street and State Road 37 are disabled, with two lanes northbound and 2 lanes southbound open for traffic on SR 37.  When you approach SR 37 heading west on 126th, you only have the option of a right turn.  Vehicles moving north on SR 37 can turn right at 126th Street.

The barricades are in place on the west end of 126th and SR 37, blocking traffic as work begins in earnest to construct a roundabout overpass going east-west at SR 37 and 126th.  This configuration is expected to be in place until July, when the east end of 126th and SR 37 will be closed as construction continues.

Also, in downtown Fishers, you will see one-lane traffic on 116th Street heading west at Lantern Road to Municipal Drive.  City officials say this will continue for 45 days.  You will continue to have access to businesses located along that stretch of road.

  1. How can they close 126th street and one lane of 116th street at the same time? It took me almost 30 minutes to cross Fishers on 116 this morning.
