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

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 the road closure and detour route here.
96th Street Beautification will begin soon with installation of conduit on North by Northeast and heading East to 96th and Cumberland Rd. This project will consist of decorative streetlights being installed along 96th Street from North by Northeast Blvd to Cumberland Road. New medians will also be installed along North by Northeast Blvd and Kincaid Blvd with streetlights. Watch out for intermittent Eastbound lane restrictions from 9-3 PM. For more details visit our Capital Projects Dashboard here.ROAD CLOSURE – 96TH STREET AND ALLISONVILLE ROAD INTERSECTION
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
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:
Closures – After April 9, 2024
- 96th Street is closed from Allisonville Road to Hazel Dell Pkwy.
- Southbound traffic cannot turn left onto 96th St from Allisonville Rd.
- Allisonville Rd is open to one lane at 96th Street for North and Southbound traffic.
- All access to local businesses remains open.
- See suggested detour maps at 96th & Allisonville Rd Roundabout
We are in constant communication with the County on our traffic signals along 116th Street and working towards accomodating the increased traffic due to this detour. We are aware of the increased volumes due to this project and neighboring ones as well.
ROAD CLOSURE – BRIDGE 187 (106TH STREET OVER MUD CREEK)- HAMILTON COUNTY PROJECT
Please be advised, 106th Street between Cumberland Road and Hamilton Pass has been closed to all thru traffic for a bridge replacement project. The anticipated roadway reopening date is Friday, October 18, 2024.
Local traffic will continue to have access to their homes, while thru traffic is asked to utilize the posted detour route of Cumberland Road, 96th Street, and Mollenkopf Road. For more details visit the Hamilton County page.
HERITAGE PARK BRIDGE – TRAIL CLOSURE
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. To construct this bridge, the contractor will need to restrict access to a portion of Heritage Park’s loop trail that runs adjacent to the river through the woods beginning the week of March 4, click here for an ariel view. During this time, you’ll notice temporary construction fencing going up as we prepare for construction. Beginning the week of March 11, the contractor will work to clear the necessary trees between the park and river. Bridge construction will follow beginning in May. Construction is expected to occur Monday through Saturday beginning at 7 a.m. The bridge is expected to be complete in August 2025.
