126th Street Improvement Project back  
Date of Record: July 16, 2009

Residents are currently seeing closures to 126th Street as the Indiana Department of Transportation and the Fishers Department of Engineering and Public Works begin the process of widening the road.  Because 80 percent of the project is being funded by federal dollars, less Fishers tax dollars are being used on this project.  
 
When completed, 126th Street will resemble 116th Street. The project will allow residents to travel 126th street more easily and should ease congestion. Due to the involvement of the federal government, it is difficult to give firm timelines on when portions of this project will begin and end.  This page will be update regularly to reflect present phases of the re-construction. 
 
 

The large project began in early July 2009 and should be completed by the end of 2011.
