INDOT Awards $21 Million Contract to
Build 106th Street
Interchange at I-69
The Indiana Department of
Transportation (INDOT) has awarded a $21.7 million contract to Walsh
Construction to build a new interchange at Interstate 69 and 106th
Street.
Hamilton County and the city of
Fishers have partnered to contribute up to $12 million toward the total cost of
construction. The interchange will
feature a two-lane, oval-shaped roundabout on 106th Street over I-69 and ramps
to and from both directions of the interstate. Two separate two-lane bridges will each carry
one direction of traffic. The bridge to carry westbound traffic on the north side
of 106th Street is also designed to accommodate pedestrians.
The project is intended to reduce
congestion at existing I-69 interchanges at 96th and 116th streets, increase
traffic safety in the area and provide direct interstate access at 106th
Street. Direct access will serve
existing residential and commercial destinations and accommodate development and
population growth in the area.
The existing 106th
Street bridge over I-69 will be removed as part of the project, which will
require closing the overpass during construction. Traffic will be detoured to 96th
Street via Allisonville and Lantern Roads.
Specific construction schedule updates will be announced in the near
future. The new 106th Street
interchange ramps and access across I-69 are expected to open to traffic before the end of this year.

Street interchange project, visit http://www.in.gov/indot/3399.htm.
