96th & Cyntheanne Rd. roundabout construction expected in 2026

The City of Fishers expects to award a construction bid this November for a planned roundabout at 96th Street and Cyntheanne Road, paving the way for work to begin in the summer of 2026. Fishers Director of Engineering Hatem Mekky shared the projected timeline with the Board of Public Works and Safety during its Tuesday morning meeting, where he also sought approval for a utility relocation reimbursement agreement with CenterPoint Energy. The board approved the request. While the final reimbursement cost is not yet known, Mekky estimates it will be around $154,000.

In other business, Department of Public Works Director John Valenta requested approval to contract with Forest Commodities for the installation of 1,500 yards of brown dyed mulch throughout city medians and roundabouts. The goal is to create a uniform look citywide. The board approved the $93,750 contract.
