The weekly Fishers-area road construction report is a bit smaller than during the peak construction season, with updates on a number of ongoing projects. Watch for lane restriction in the area of Fall Creek & Geist Road, plus State Road 37 between 131st & 141st Streets.
Here is the road construction weekly report for the work week starting November 6th, as provided by the City of Fishers:

STATE ROAD 37 IMPROVEMENT PROJECT

STATE ROAD 37 AND 141ST STREET
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 Spring 2024. View detour routes here.
View how to merge safely onto Northbound SR 37 from 141st Street here and onto Southbound SR 37 from 141st Street here. To navigate the merge, remember:
- Use the accel lane to gain speed, not stop
- Use your mirrors and pay attention
- Look for a gap in SR 37 traffic and safely merge

I-465 & I-69
Drivers will see an increase in construction along the I-69 corridor in the coming months. This work will focus on reconfiguring the interchange at I-465 and I-69. New ramps will provide direct movements from eastbound I-465 and northbound I-465 to northbound I-69. Binford Blvd. will also be reconstructed to separate local traffic from traffic entering and exiting I-69 and I-465. Access to I-69 from Binford Blvd. will remain open.
The ramp from 82nd Street to I-69 North is now open.
The ramp from I-69 North to 82nd Street is currently closed through mid-2024. For detour routes and additional project information, visit clearpath465.com

FALL CREEK AND GEIST ROAD
During the week of November 6th, there will be lane restrictions from 9am to 3pm just east of the intersection of Fall Creek and Geist Road to allow for manhole grade adjustments. Lane restrictions will also be in place on Geist Road between Governors Lane and Windjammer Trace on Geist Road.
SR 37 SOUTHBOUND PAVEMENT MARKINGS
Lane restrictions on southbound SR37 between 141st St and 131st St will be in place on November 4th beginning at 9am. Weather permitting work is scheduled to be completed by 4pm, to allow for striping and removal.
PROJECTS SOUTH OF 116TH STREET
106TH STREET & HOOSIER ROAD
The intersection of 106th Street and Hoosier Road is currently closed for the construction of a roundabout. Access into and out of the Windermere subdivision will be on Geist Road via Governors Lane. Detour route can be found
here. For additional project information, view the Capital Project Dashboard
here.
Due to utility conflicts and drainage revisions, the city worked with the consultant on record on updating the plans to this intersection. The contractor had to pause work while we work through the design changes and revisions. Currently we are back up and running on construction and the contractor is working as hard as possible to get the roundabout constructed and open to traffic. The 60 days of closure had to be extended to afford the contractor time to finish the work before the weather changes. The schedule for reopening the intersection is currently being refined with the contractor but they have assured us that this intersection will be opened before the end of the year with some cleanup work extending into next spring. We apologize for the inconvenience while we navigate these items with the utilities, Hamilton County Surveryors office, the contractor, and our consultant.
106th STREET OVER MUD CREEK – HAMILTON COUNTY PROJECTBeginning on or after Wednesday, Nevember 1, between 9am and 3pm, 106th Street between Cumberland Road and Mollenkopf Road will have lane restrictions in place to allow for tree clearing to take place to prepare for a bridge replacement project in 2024. PLease be cautious and watch for flaggers when traveling through this area. For additional project information, visit the bridge #187 – 106th st over Mud creek Project Page
