| Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness was joined by Governor Mike Braun and Hamilton County Commissioners Mark Heirbrandt, Steve Dillinger and Christine Altman for the opening of the 141st Street and State Road 37 interchange, marking completion of the Fishers segment of the corridor.The newly opened interchange is the final component of the $180 million SR 37 Improvement Project within Fishers, completing a multi-year effort to improve safety, mobility, and connectivity along one of Hamilton County’s busiest transportation corridors. The project replaced traditional signaled intersections with grade-separated roundabout interchanges, allowing traffic on SR 37 to move more freely while improving east-west connectivity at key cross streets.“This is truly a monumental day for Fishers, Hamilton County, and everyone who travels the SR 37 corridor,” said Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness. “The opening of the 141st Street interchange represents years of planning, partnership, and construction. I’m proud of this project and everyone from our team who made it a reality today. The citizens of Fishers and the thousands of others who drive this corridor daily have a safer, more efficient roadway to experience for the future.” With the completion of the 141st Street interchange, the south section of the SR 37 Improvement Project now provides improved access and traffic flow at 126th Street, 131st Street, 135th Street, and 146th Street, creating a more consistent and efficient travel experience along SR 37.The project was delivered through a partnership between the City of Fishers, Hamilton County, and the State of Indiana, with the City of Fishers overseeing project administration and construction coordination.“Today marks a major milestone for Fishers and Hamilton County as we celebrate the completion of the State Road 37 Improvement Project,” said Gov. Braun. “This transformative investment will improve the flow of traffic for residents, businesses, and visitors for years to come.”The opening of the 141st Street interchange also supports the goals of the 37 Thrives initiative, which has helped keep the community informed, promote local businesses, and provide construction updates throughout the project to ensure economic vitality of the corridor during construction.“Before we broke ground on this project, we knew keeping our local businesses informed and supported was a top priority,” said Mark Heirbrandt, Hamilton County Commissioner. “As we see this project completed we are grateful to the many businesses in this corridor, and the public for their cooperation and understanding throughout construction. This investment undoubtedly strengthens the SR37 corridor for decades to come.” |
