136th Street Closes for Phase Two Detour — What to Know
Fishers, IN · September 13, 2026
Thick morning fog is draping the tree lines this Sunday, but clear skies and warm air will take over once it burns off. Between dozens of artisans setting up along the trail and new east-side detours taking hold, there is plenty moving today.
The Lead
Crews have shifted the 136th Street widening project into its second phase, closing the roadway to all through traffic between Southeastern Parkway and Prairie Baptist Road. As neighborhoods throughout Fall Creek Township continue to fill in, the narrow two-lane corridor has faced steady pressure from school traffic and morning commutes.
The major overhaul will rebuild the corridor with raised concrete medians, improved storm drainage, and multi-use pedestrian paths running along both shoulders to link surrounding subdivisions into the broader trail network. Through traffic must now detour using Southeastern Parkway and Prairie Baptist Road, though access remains open for local homeowners living within the construction limits. Paving contractors plan to complete utility relocations and curb installation before laying the final binder course ahead of late autumn freezes.
