Construction crews somehow dodged recent record Fishers rainfall amounts and will open 116th Street at the Nickel Plate Trail downtown well ahead of schedule.  The roadway will reopen Saturday, July 17th.

The closure was required in order to construct a tunnel underneath 116th Street for the trail.  116th St. will be open from Municipal Drive to Maple Street as of Saturday.  However, traffic will be limited to one lane in each direction in that area.  The lane closures will continue through August 1st.

One additional note – the Friday concert featuring Purple Veins – The Essential Prince Tribute Band – has been cancelled due to rain.
