126th Street Closure In Fishers: What To Know

FISHERS, IN — If your daily commute includes 126th Street between State Road 37 and Cumberland Road, you'll need to find an alternate route through Thursday, April 4, the City of Fishers announced Monday. In a release sent to Patch, the City said the closure is taking place due to storm sewer installation across 126th Street, and is part of a City engineering project to construct a roundabout at the intersection of 126th and Parkside Drive, estimated to be completed in September.

To take advantage of a decrease in traffic, the closure coincides with Hamilton Southeastern Schools’ Spring Break dates, according to a release.

Additional project traffic alerts from the City of Fishers:

• 126th Street will be open but reduced to one lane in each direction for the duration of the project.
• Parkside Drive at 126th Street will be closed during the construction of the north side of the roundabout. (These closure dates are still being determined).

Project details:

• Left turns in this area will use the roundabout in an effort to improve safety and traffic flow.
• The estimated construction cost of this project is $1.7 million.
• The project is 90 percent federally funded, and 10 percent locally funded.

Patch will update this news as new information becomes available.
