Key 116th Street and Allisonville Road Upgrades Open to Traffic
Fishers, IN · November 9, 2026
Clear morning skies and light traffic greet the Monday morning rush, with major travel corridors moving smoothly across the city.
The Lead
Weekend drivers across town noticed a welcome change as three long-running roadway projects officially returned to open traffic. The City of Fishers lifted main closures at the intersection of 116th Street and Allisonville Road, along with substantial stretches of 136th Street and USA Parkway.
At 116th and Allisonville, crews completed new extended left-turn lanes in all four directions alongside ADA-accessible pedestrian ramps and upgraded signals, replacing an earlier roundabout proposal with a streamlined traditional intersection. Eastward, 136th Street now flows as a divided boulevard between Southeastern Parkway and Prairie Baptist Road, complete with fresh curbs, storm sewer lines, and multi-use paths flanking both sides. Motorists should remain alert for intermittent lane restrictions this week while work crews wrap up final punch-list items, striping, and landscaping along the shoulders.

Spotlight & Story
- The Burning of Eller Bridge
- Before 116th Street bridged the White River with concrete, an 1870 Civil War-era wooden covered bridge connected farmers across the water. In October 1957, mysterious flames consumed the landmark overnight amid heated township merger tensions, leaving behind only the submerged riverbank timbers.
