Plans are underway to rehabilitate the State Road (SR) 37 corridor from 126th Street to 146th Street, a collaboration between the City of Fishers, City of Noblesville, Hamilton County, and INDOT.

The City of Fishers will manage the design and construction of the project. Residents, business owners, and other stakeholders are encouraged to subscribe to Drive Fishers Emails Notification and check Project Updates regularly. You can also view Project Documents here.

Key Features

• Corridor Details: SR 37 is a four-lane, north-south road serving over 50,000 vehicles daily in Hamilton County, Fishers, and Noblesville.
• Current Issues: Traffic signals at cross streets are increasingly overloaded, causing congestion and safety concerns.
• Project Enhancements:
  • Replace signalized intersections at 126th, 131st, 141st, and 146th Streets with grade-separated interchanges.
  • Convert the intersection at 135th Street to a right-in right-out configuration.
  • Create free-flow traffic on SR 37 between I-69 and Greenfield Avenue.
• Traffic Signals: The traffic signals will be removed and replaced with roundabout interchanges at each local cross street similar to Keystone Parkway in the City of Carmel. In addition, the roundabout interchanges will include sidewalks and crosswalks to allow for pedestrian and cyclist traffic.
• Funding: The SR 37 improvement project will cost an estimated $124 million. The breakdown of funds include:
  • INDOT to contribute $100 million
  • Hamilton County to contribute $12 million
  • City of Fishers to contribute $12 million

Benefits

• Improved safety and traffic flow:  As Fishers and other Hamilton County areas continue to develop, more commuters travel SR 37, creating more congestion. Drivers experience unacceptable wait times on local cross streets. Residents have expressed frustration with sitting through multiple lights before crossing SR 37 at cross streets.
• Enhanced community connectivity:  Because of the traffic flow and short green lights on the cross streets, it is nearly impossible for pedestrians and cyclists to cross SR 37 safely. Residents have often commented on the lack of connectivity along this corridor.
• Reduced noise pollution.
• Lower long-term user costs.

Timeline

The final design of the SR 37 Improvement Project will be determined over the next two to three years as environmental and design studies are completed with the opportunity for public input. Once the design is complete, the construction period is expected to last approximately three years. This preliminary timeline is subject to change at any time without notice.
