Long list on this week’s Fishers-area road construction update

This may be the longest list of road construction activity for the 2024 summer season.  Pay particular attention to the State Road 37 northbound lane restrictions coming up.  Also, along 141st Street, east of State Road 37, be on the lookout for construction closures in the Prairie Lakes area

Here is the full listing, as provided by the City of Fishers:

STATE ROAD 37 AND 141ST STREET

The final interchange of the State Road 37 Improvement Project will officially begin construction at 141st St. and State Road 37 this summer. One important note: To ease the construction burden in the area, the work will not begin until Hamilton County’s 146th St. closure at Allisonville re-opens. The full timeline for the 141st Street interchange will be provided after project bids are accepted in the Spring 2024. View detour routes here.

ROADWORK UPDATE 

*Road Closure due to Emergency Patching *

Next Friday, August 9 there will be emergency patching on
NB SR 37 . We will need to close down the northbound

be tapering 37 to one lane travelling northbound and
allowing drivers to exit on 131st street or 135th street where
the hard closure will be. Watch for message boards alerting
drivers of the closure. Please see maps below.
