The City of Fishers was right on time, converting the intersection of 141st Street at State Road 37 a right-in right-out this week as previously announced, meaning the traffic signal is gone and motorists will need to find another east-west route in that area.
In commenting on this change in the weekly road construction report, Fishers City officials repeated its assertion that this set-up is “not the permanent configuration.” The city has said it will have another bidding process in August of this year. The bids submitted in 2022 were “not serious,” per City Controller Lisa Bradford, in a comment at a recent City Council Finance Committee meeting.
Below is the latest statement on this from the city, issued Friday:

| A pre-construction phase at SR 37 & 141st Street is currently in place. During this phase, 141st Street will be a Right-In-Right-Out (RIRO) traffic configuration. This is not the permanent configuration. This will allow for traffic to flow more freely along SR 37 until the next phases of construction can be activated. This will eliminate backups along SR 37 that have caused dangerous stops to the free flow traffic and backups on the 146th Street interchange. Again, this is not the permanent configuration for 141st Street. The full timeline for the 141st Street interchange will be provided after project bids are accepted in the Summer of 2023.
