When Mayor Scott Fadness was recently asked about what major project is on tap for the city in 2023, the first item listed was the reconstruction of Cumberland Road between 106th and 116th Streets. The Fishers City Council approved the interlocal agreement with Hamilton county to allow the project to move forward.

The planned construction project will improve the roadway by constructing enclosed storm sewer pipes, grass medians along the corridor, auxiliary lanes, a multi-use path along the west side of Cumberland Road, pedestrian facilities on the east side of Cumberland Road and reconstructing a Bridge.

City Attorney Chris Greisl told the City Council Monday night that Hamilton County will pay 100% of the local match on reconstructing the bridge and and 23% of the improvement cost on the road itself.

The project is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2023 with utility relocation and tree clearing.  The actual construction on Cumberland Road will begin later in 2023 and could go into 2024 before it is completed.
