LarryInFishers.com

With the warmer weather, I do not need to remind Fishers-area motorists that road construction is picking up all around.

Below is the latest update, for the work week beginning Monday, April 29, 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.

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
The ramp from 82nd Street to I-69 North is open.

The ramp from I-69 North to 82nd Street will remain closed through mid-2024. For detour routes and additional project information, visit clearpath465.com\
PROJECTS NORTH OF 116TH STREET

146TH STREET & ALLISONVILLE ROAD – HAMILTON COUNTY PROJECT 
Allisonville Road remains closed north and south of 146th street. Bridge crews are continuing work on the widening of the eastbound bridge over the White River. The contractor is continuing to work on the storm sewer installation, subgrade preparation, and paving operations. The contractor will begin working within existing pavement areas after the new traffic pattern is implemented. Construction vehicles will be entering and exiting from this work area, so please be vigilant when driving through the contsruction zone.

The contractor will occasionally utilize a lane restriction for the delivery of materials in the work area (from 9AM to 3PM). These lane restrictions will take place in the left-hand westbound lane of 146th Street.

For additional project information, visit the 146th street and Allisonville rd. Project Page. 

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.

ROAD CLOSURE – 96TH STREET AND ALLISONVILLE ROAD INTERSECTION

On April 1st,construction began on the 96th St. & Allisonville Rd. Roundabout Project.
This project aims to enhance connectivity along this stretch of the Allisonville Corridor.
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

The City of Fishers has partnered with the City of Carmel, Clay Township, Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation , Hamilton County, and Delaware Township to connect Heritage Park at White River and Carmel’s Hazel Landing Park with a bridge over White River. This new amenity will provide enhanced connectivity between the two communities, as well as new recreational opportunities for our residents.
