FISHERS— The City of Fishers is considering delaying the construction of another roundabout at 116th and Allisonville.

It comes after some drivers in Fishers have grown increasingly concerned as crashes at a new local roundabout have spiked over the last month.

The problem lies at the 96th and Allisonville Rd roundabout as it’s a learning curve for some drivers.

The city of Fishers says the surge is due to a combination of higher traffic volumes, erratic driving behaviors, improper lane usage and motorists failing to yield.

It sent us this statement in part: “Because of the increased traffic we are seeing with the INDOT construction, we are considering delaying the construction of the roundabout at 116th and Allisonville originally planned for this year until the interstate construction is complete. We do not want to cause any additional delays for motorists.”
