The City of Fishers will mark the completion of one of its largest transportation projects with a ribbon-cutting ceremony next week for the final interchange along the State Road 37 corridor.

City officials will host the event on Tuesday, May 26, at 10:30 a.m. to celebrate the opening of the new 141st Street interchange, the final major component of the State Road 37 Improvement Project within Fishers.

The ceremony will be held at Ed Martin Toyota, 9230 E. 141st Street. Following remarks from local and state officials, participants will take part in a ribbon-cutting parade through the newly completed interchange.

The State Road 37 Improvement Project has been a major infrastructure undertaking for the city and the state, with construction beginning in 2018. The project was designed to improve safety, traffic flow, mobility and connectivity along the Fishers portion of the busy corridor.

Over the past several years, the project has transformed portions of State Road 37 by replacing traditional signalized intersections with grade-separated interchanges, allowing traffic to move more efficiently while reducing congestion and the potential for serious crashes.

The completion of the 141st Street interchange marks the final phase of the Fishers segment of the project and represents the culmination of nearly eight years of planning and construction.

Expected to attend the event are officials from the State of Indiana, the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), Hamilton County, the City of Fishers, project partners, business leaders and community stakeholders.

State Road 37 serves as a major north-south transportation route through Fishers and Hamilton County. City leaders have long viewed the corridor improvements as a key investment to support continued residential and commercial growth while improving travel times for motorists.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony is open to invited guests and project stakeholders, with the parade through the interchange immediately following the formal ceremony.
