The intersection of 96th Street and Allisonville Road has been through a lot during my years living in Fishers.  The standard traffic signals were backed-up during busy traffic times.

The Town of Fishers thought they had a solution by installing what many describe as a “Michigan Left.”  Basically, it did not allow left turns, instead relying on right turns and legal u-turn lanes.  Let’s just say this was not a popular configuration for most motorists.

With private development and a city park coming along the White River north and west of this intersection, Fishers came up with the idea of converting the intersection from the Michigan Left to a large roundabout design.

That construction has limited traffic flow at 96th & Allisonville for a number of months.  The City of Fishers has announced, in a social media post, the following –  “Full access will open to this roundabout on or after Monday, October 28th.”

There is more work to be done, and some lane restrictions may be in place until all is completed, but for the most part, motorists will have access to the full roundabout “on or after October 28th.”
