Allisonville Road Traffic Shift Starts Today — New Lanes Open

Fishers, IN · July 8, 2026

Keep an eye on the lane markers on your way toward 146th Street this morning; the long-awaited traffic shift is finally live. Plenty is moving across the city today, even if the sky stays a bit grey.

📰 The Lead

The transformation of the Allisonville Road and 146th Street intersection into a grade-separated interchange reaches a major milestone today. Crews worked through the night to transition traffic onto the newly completed bridge structures, marking the beginning of the end for one of the area's most persistent bottlenecks. While the project isn't fully finished, this shift allows for the removal of temporary signals that have slowed commutes for months.

Drivers should expect some initial adjustments as the "Michigan Left" movements are phased out in favor of the new roundabout design. City engineers will be monitoring flow throughout the morning rush to calibrate timing. This $44 million investment aims to handle the 40,000 vehicles that pass through daily, and today is the first real test of the new geometry. Expect some minor delays as everyone finds their lane.
