Fishers Road Construction Update

LarryInFishers.com

Most of us may be “hunkered down” at home by order of Governor Eric Holcomb, but one essential industry in the Hoosier State is road construction.  We have plenty of it in and around Fishers.

Here is the road construction update, as provided by the City of Fishers, for the work week starting Monday, April 20th:

=========================

 

STATE ROAD 37 
126th Street west of SR 37 is currently closed and is anticipated to reopen in July. During this time, cross access and all left turns will be restricted, with only right in and right out until this phase ends. Traffic on Southbound SR 37 will shift to the Northbound lanes and two lanes will remain in each direction. Local access to businesses will remain open via Lantern Road. The official detour route will direct drivers to use 116th Street or 131st Street to Allisonville Road. Detour route markers and advance warning signs will be in place prior to the closure.
