Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness has floated the idea of closing the 116th Street & Allisonville Road intersection this summer as a roundabout is constructed.  During Tuesday morning’s Board of Works and Public Safety meeting, Fadness indicated the construction of that roundabout at 116th & Allisonville may not happen this year, as had been planned.

Following the meeting, the mayor told LarryInFishers state crews are likely to continue work on the Clear Path project, rebuilding the interchange at I-465 and I-69, well into next year.

That state project has been blamed by city officials for the backups and increased traffic flow at the new 96th Street and Allisonville Road roundabout.  Fadness says any closure of 116th & Allisonville, paired with the state construction at I-465 and I-69, would dump even more vehicles into the 96th Street and Allisonville Road roundabout.

The mayor seems to favor waiting until the state Clear Path project is completed before building the roundabout at 116th & Allisonville.

The mayor made it clear no decisions have been made, but it appears the roundabout at 116th Street and Allisonville Road will not happen in 2025.
