ABOUT THE PROJECT.
The first phase of the project, which includes River Road to 11th Street, opened to traffic in November 2024. Phase 1 improves traffic flow in Noblesville by building a new bridge over the White River. Four new roundabouts will move traffic efficiently and safely through the entire corridor. Phase 2 will include widening the existing Pleasant Street to four lanes, and reconstructing the roundabout at 19th Street to a two lane roundabout. The Midland Trace Trail will be extended along the north side of Pleasant Street in phase 2 to the project’s terminus at 19th Street. Phase 3 is now open to traffic and includes a new roundabout at the intersection of Hague Road and SR 32.
