Below is the full listing, as provided by the City of Fishers:

STATE ROAD 37 AND 141ST STREET
A pre-construction phase at SR 37 & 141st Street is currently in place. During this phase, 141st Street will be a Right-In-Right-Out (RIRO) traffic configuration.
This is not the permanent configuration. This will allow for traffic to flow more freely along SR 37 until the next phases of construction can be activated. This will eliminate backups along SR 37 that have caused dangerous stops to the free flow traffic and backups on the 146th Street interchange. Again, this is not the permanent configuration for 141st Street. The full timeline for the 141st Street interchange will be provided after project bids are accepted in the Spring 2024. View detour routes here.
View how to merge safely onto Northbound SR 37 from 141st Street here and onto Southbound SR 37 from 141st Street here. To navigate the merge, remember:
- Use the accel lane to gain speed, not stop
- Use your mirrors and pay attention
- Look for a gap in SR 37 traffic and safely merge

I-465 & I-69
Drivers will see an increase in construction along the I-69 corridor in the coming months. This work will focus on reconfiguring the interchange at I-465 and I-69. New ramps will provide direct movements from eastbound I-465 and northbound I-465 to northbound I-69. Binford Blvd. will also be reconstructed to separate local traffic from traffic entering and exiting I-69 and I-465. Access to I-69 from Binford Blvd. will remain open.
Crews closed the two ramps at 82nd Street on Monday, January 29. These ramps will remain closed throughout most of 2024.
- Ramp from I-69 South to 82nd Street
- Ramp from 82nd Street to I-69 South
Allisonville Road is closed north and south of 146th street. The contractor will implement a new traffic pattern for eastbound and westbound 146th Street on or after March 21 (see map). Please use extreme caution and follow the 35 mph posted speed limit.
Periodic lane closures may be necessary to complete certain work items.. Please watch for flaggers and workers in and around the construction zone.
Bridge crews are continuing work on the widening of the eastbound bridge over the White River. The contractor is continuing to work on storm sewer installation, subgrade preparation, and paving operations. The contractor will begin working within existing pavement areas after the new traffic pattern is implemented. Construction vehicles will be entering and exiting from this work area, so please be vigilant when driving through the construction zone.

SUNBLEST/ALLISONVILLE ROAD – HAMILTON COUNTY PROJECT
The sewer lining contractor will have the right-hand northbound lane of Allisonville restricted on Monday and Tuesday (4/15-4/16). For an ariel view click here.

roundabout adjacent to the new River Place development. This project is slated to be
completed at the end of the year, with minor enhancements completed in the Spring
of 2025. You can view a close up map of what the roundabout will look like after
April 9 here.
Here’s what to expect:

- On/After April 9th, the contractor will close 96th St. to the WEST of Allisonville Rd. This closure will be in place for 30+days. During this closure, southbound traffic will not be permitted to turn left onto 96th St. from Allisonville Rd. Allisonville Road will remain open to North and Southbound traffic. All access to local businesses will remain in place.

Road work is scheduled to begin at Barrett East the week of Monday, April 15.

Once utilities are located, work on phase 1 will begin, which includes reconstruction of Britton Park Road (South of the fork) and Trade Center Drive. Road construction is scheduled to begin on April 22. Access to businesses will be maintained during the project.
Howard Companies is going to continue work in the Saxony neighborhood. Restoration work is still ongoing in the Sunblest neighborhood.

Good morning, Larry. I’m curious how the traffic was after the total solar eclipse. How many visitors are estimated to have been in Fishers? How did the city’s planning work out? Were emergency vehicles able to get to where they were needed? How long did heavy traffic last and where was it?
The city was prepared but the crowds never materialized.
