Construction is coming to the area of 116th Street East of I-69 to Cumberland Road, and along with that will be a lowering of the speed limit.

The current speed limit along that stretch of road is 40 miles per hour….the limit will be reduced to 30 miles per hour from 100 feet west of USA Pkwy to 200 feet east of Spyglass Ridge Drive.  The action will allow for the construction project aimed at widening that area of 116th Street.

Director of Engineering for the City of Fishers, Jeff Hill, told the Board of Public Works and Safety the lower speed limit would likely continue through July.

The board approved the request unanimously.
