A section of 96th Street will be closed for more than a week in early November as construction crews complete one of the final steps in the Nickel Plate Trail pedestrian bridge project.

According to the City of Fishers, 96th Street will be fully closed between Hague Road and Masters Road beginning at 9 a.m. on Friday, November 7, and will remain closed through Sunday, November 16. The closure will allow crews to finish roadway reconstruction work beneath the new bridge.

Work is scheduled to take place Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Detours will be clearly marked to guide drivers around the area, and access to all nearby businesses will remain open throughout the project.

City officials say this marks one of the final major milestones before the Nickel Plate Trail pedestrian bridge opens in December. The bridge will provide a safe crossing over 96th Street, connecting the Fishers section of the trail with Indianapolis to the south.
