Monday, June 4th is the date two road projects begin in Fishers and local motorists need to plan now on how to change driving habits this summer.

First, the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) will close Brooks School Road between 126th Street and 136th Street in order to add a sidewalk to the east side of the bridge over I-69.  INDOT’s suggested detours include utilizing 136th Street, Promise Road and 126th Street.  Weather permitting, Brooks School Road will close over I-69 June 4th and reopen in early August.

Secondly, a new roundabout will be constructed at 131st Street and Cumberland Road.  The City of Fishers has waited until the HSE school year was over to start this project, which will require the closing of that intersection during construction.  Originally, this work was set to start in late May, but the start date has been moved back to June 4th, again, weather permitting.  City officials say the project is still scheduled for completion in late July, well before the HSE students report back to school August 8th.
