  • Sidewalk and ADA ramp replacement
  • Traffic signal upgrades

Southeastern Parkway & Olio Road Roundabout Improvements

The City of Fishers will begin reconstructing the roundabout at Southeastern Parkway and Olio Road in mid-June to improve safety and traffic flow at one of the region’s busiest intersections, which has a history of frequent non-fatal crashes. The project will be completed in November 2026 during 3 phases.
The project will add more room for vehicles, reduce backups on nearby roads, and make the roundabout easier to navigate. When completed this fall, the roundabout will help drivers choose the correct lane sooner, move through the intersection more safely, and reduce rear-end and side-swipe crashes.
Phase 1 – Mid-June – Late July
The roundabout will remain open with lane restrictions.
Crews will improve nearby 136th Street and permanently make it a two-way road, providing a detour option during Phase 2. They will also build a new connection road between 136th Street and Southeastern Parkway to the east for easier traffic flow during construction.
Alternate routes are encouraged but not required during Phase 1.

More information and traffic maps will be announced before construction starts.
