The City of Fishers has launched its 2026 construction season with $12.4 million in new roadway and infrastructure investments aimed at enhancing safety, improving traffic flow, and supporting the city’s continued growth.
The season opened on a milestone note: the completion of the State Road 37 Improvement Project, capping the $180 million conversion of the formerly signaled thoroughfare to above-grade interchanges through Fishers’ intersections.
“As Fishers continues to grow, we’re making intentional investments in infrastructure that not only address today’s needs but support our community well into the future,” said Hatem Mekky, the city’s Director of Engineering. “From corridor improvements to intersection upgrades and resurfacing, this work is critical to enhancing mobility, improving safety, and maintaining the high quality of our roadways.”
City officials say the projects are part of Fishers’ long-term vision to create a more connected, accessible, and efficient transportation network for residents, businesses, and visitors — supporting daily commutes, economic development, and overall quality of place.
During the busy season, motorists are encouraged to plan ahead using Waze or Google Maps, allow extra travel time, and use caution in work zones to protect construction workers. Residents can stay informed by following @DriveFishers on X and the City of Fishers on Nextdoor, subscribing to the weekly Drive Fishers newsletter, and viewing the Capital Project Dashboard at FishersIN.gov/DriveFishers for timelines, maps, and project updates.
Here’s a look at what’s ahead.
Corridor and Community Revitalization Projects
Through targeted corridor and community revitalization efforts, Fishers is working to transform key areas of the city by improving connectivity, supporting redevelopment, and enhancing access to neighborhoods, businesses, and community destinations.
Southeastern Parkway and Olio Road Roundabout
Begins on or after June 15, 2026; completion expected November 2026.
The city is reconstructing the roundabout at Southeastern Parkway and Olio Road — one of the region’s busiest intersections and the site of a history of frequent non-fatal crashes — to improve safety and traffic flow. The project will help drivers choose the correct lane sooner, improve traffic movement, and support growth in northeast Fishers as well as regional travel between Fishers, Noblesville, Hamilton County, and surrounding destinations.
Phase 1 begins on or after June 15. The roundabout will remain open in all directions with periodic lane restrictions while crews improve 136th Street, permanently convert it to two-way traffic, and build a new connection road between 136th Street and Southeastern Parkway. Later phases will include detours and partial closures, including full closure of certain segments later this summer. Through traffic should follow posted detours or seek alternate routes.
Nearby businesses will remain open and accessible throughout construction, though exit and entry points may vary. Emergency access — including access to IU Health Fishers and Ascension St. Vincent — will be maintained through all phases. More information is available at FishersIN.gov/Olio.
Allisonville Road Corridor and 116th Street Improvements
In progress; completion expected October 2026.
Work is underway along the Allisonville Road corridor as part of the city’s broader revitalization efforts to enhance safety, mobility, and access to westside neighborhoods and businesses. At 116th Street, improvements include lengthening left-turn lanes in each direction, replacing sidewalks and ADA ramps, and upgrading traffic signals.
The intersection was originally planned as a roundabout, but additional analysis determined the same goals could be achieved through less invasive roadway modifications. The intersection remains open during construction, with lane shifts, restrictions, and slower travel times expected — especially during peak hours. Lane and left-turn movements will be limited or restricted, and drivers seeking through-access should use alternate routes. Access to local businesses will remain open for the duration of the project. More information is available at FishersIN.gov/Allisonville.
96th Street and Cyntheanne Road
In progress; completion expected August 2026.
Construction of a new roundabout is underway at 96th Street and Cyntheanne Road, requiring a full closure of the intersection through August. The project is designed to improve traffic flow and enhance safety. Drivers should follow posted detours or seek alternate routes.
Olio Road Resurfacing
Begins summer 2026; completion expected November 2026.
The Hamilton County Highway Department will resurface Olio Road from 96th Street to north of 104th Street, and from south of the Geist Reservoir bridge, improving pavement conditions along this key corridor. Lane restrictions will be in place for each resurfacing segment; through traffic should use alternate routes, though local business access remains open. Project updates from the county highway department will be shared on Drive Fishers and Nextdoor as they become available.
USA Parkway Expansion
Begins summer 2026; completion expected fall 2026.
This project will widen USA Parkway to two lanes in each direction from 106th Street north to IKEA, improving traffic flow and accommodating increased travel demand in this high-growth area. The expansion will occur within the existing roadway by narrowing the median, increasing capacity while minimizing impacts to surrounding properties and infrastructure. Lane restrictions will be in effect, but local business access will remain open. Additional details will be shared on Drive Fishers and Nextdoor.
136th Street from Prairie Baptist Road to Cyntheanne Road
In progress; completion expected fall 2026.
Construction continues along the 136th Street corridor as work resumes from Prairie Baptist Road to Cyntheanne Road, with a full closure of 136th Street from Prairie Baptist Road to Southeastern Parkway. The work includes installation of a landscaped median, enhanced lighting, multi-use paths, two pedestrian bridges over Mud Creek, and upgraded drainage infrastructure — improvements intended to boost connectivity and support continued growth on the city’s east side. Drivers should follow posted detours or seek alternate routes.
Corridor Road Resurfacing
Begins summer 2026; completion expected fall 2026.
Resurfacing is planned for Promise Road (126th Street to 131st Street), Howe Road (131st Street to 141st Street), and 131st Street (Cumberland Road to Promise Road) to improve pavement conditions and extend roadway life. Lane restrictions and short-term closures can be expected, with updates shared through HOA leaders and on Nextdoor.
Neighborhood Infrastructure Maintenance
The city says ongoing investment in roadway maintenance helps preserve infrastructure, extend the life of roadways, and ensure safe, reliable travel across the community.
Neighborhood Road Resurfacing
In progress; completion expected fall 2026.
The city’s annual road resurfacing program is underway through October, with work taking place in phases across several neighborhoods, including Rosewood, Sunblest, Summerlin Trails, Weaver Woods, and the Springs of Cambridge. Periodic resurfacing improves pavement conditions and extends roadway life. Lane restrictions and short-term closures can be expected, with updates shared through HOA leaders, in Drive Fishers, and on Nextdoor.
Regional Projects
Roadway improvements in neighboring communities may also affect Fishers motorists.
116th Street Roundabouts (Carmel)
The City of Carmel plans to install raised pedestrian crosswalks within several roundabouts along Hazel Dell Parkway and Gray Road. A full closure of the 116th Street and Gray Road roundabout is underway, with completion expected July 3. The Hazel Dell Parkway roundabout closure is scheduled to run from July 3 through August 10.
