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.
Crews closed the two ramps at 82nd Street on Monday, January 29. These ramps will remain closed throughout most of 2024.
- Ramp from I-69 South to 82nd Street
- Ramp from 82nd Street to I-69 South
146TH STREET & ALLISONVILLE ROAD – HAMILTON COUNTY PROJECT
Periodic lane closures may be necessary to complete this work. Please watch for flaggers and workers in and around the construction zone. Construction crews are continuing to work on storm sewer installation and roadway grading. Crews are continuing work on the widening of the westbound bridge over the White River. The contractor has installed cofferdams and delineating buoys in the White River for pier construction. The contractor is continuing work on the bridge foundations and substructure units. Please use caution if canoeing or tubing through the work zone. For additional project information, visit the 146th St & Allisonville Rd. Project Page here .
90-DAY ALLISONVILLE ROAD CLOSURE
Please be advised, the contractor has closed Allisonville Road between 146th Street and Kensington Drive, and between 146th Street and Helmsley Court. This will remain closed for 90 calendar days. Property owners within the limits of the closure of Allisonville Road will have access to their property during the closure. Both eastbound and westbound 146th Street will open to all through traffic throughout the closure of Allisonville Rd. The contractor will be placing detour route markers as we approach the road closure.
Please utilize the posted detour route to avoid the road closures on Allisonville. View road closure and detour map here.
Beginning on or about March 1st, Mayer Najem will be doing some concrete work in front of the new city hall and adjacent to the road. During this time a part of Municipal Drive will be one way and will remain so for 1 to 2 months. The section that is to be one way is from Fishers Center Drive to North Street. Outside of this section, traffic patterns will remain the same. Beginning on or about March 1st, Mayer Najem will be doing some concrete work in front of the new city hall and adjacent to the road.

The existing Michigan Left intersection was eliminated and transitioned to a two-lane
roundabout adjacent to the new River Place development. This project is slated to be
completed at the end of the year, with minor enhancements completed in the Spring
of 2025. You can view a close up map of what the roundabout will look like after
April 9 here.
Here’s what to expect:
- On/After April 1st, the construction contractor will begin mobilizing at the construction site. At this time, crews will place temporary pavement and transition Allisonville Rd. to the Northbound lanes.
- On/After April 9th, the contractor will close 96th St. to the WEST of Allisonville Rd. This closure will be in place for 30+days. During this closure, southbound traffic will not be permitted to turn left onto 96th St. from Allisonville Rd. Allisonville Road will remain open to North and Southbound traffic. All access to local businesses will remain in place.

HERITAGE PARK BRIDGE – TRAIL CLOSURE
Locations that experienced a total solar eclipse in the past saw heavy, often standstill, traffic. With the anticipated additional traffic, motorists should travel with emergency preparedness in mind. This includes ensuring gas tanks are full, planning for extra time to your destination, and packing water and snacks in anticipation of long delays.
Fishers Engineering and Public Works Departments will suspend all road construction work on the day of the eclipse.
Motorists are encouraged to use the Waze app and follow @FishersIN on X for Traffic and travel updates.
Fishers Parks will have a modified schedule open to pedestrian traffic only. Beginning at dusk on April 7 through dusk on April 8, vehicular traffic will be restricted to encourage residents to visit neighborhoods to local parks via pedestrian access instead of adding vehicles to the roadways. Geist Waterfron Park will be closed to Vehicular and Pedestrian Access.
Cumberland Rd Local access only on April 8 for public safety. East – West Rd at Cumberland Rd will have soft closures & local access only. Expect delays.

Howard Companies is going to begin work in the Saxony neighborhood on April 9 and will be finishing up in Brooks Chase.
This work will only consist of removal and replacement of sidewalk panels which pose a toe kick trip hazard. Sidewalk within driveways is not included in the scope of this project.
Phase 1 of this plan will require closure of Master Road, the anticipated closure dates will be March to April 17. These restrictions will affect through traffic of Master Road between 91st and 96th Street.
Phase 2 is anticipated to take place from April 17 to June 6, during this phase there will be a one lane closure between 91st street and 96th Street.
