The Shelbyville Bypass cost $14.8 million and was funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in July 2009. In 2011, it was reported that the highway was opened to traffic.Extending SR 437 has been discussed, but as of March 2024, the project has stagnated. The delay could stem from issues such as the lack of State funding, the increased cost of road maintenance on local government, and zoning issues along the proposed path of the project.
