REPORT
ABOUT THE PROJECT.
The first phase of the project, which is the segment from River Road to 11th Street, is planned to be fully completed in November of 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 highlights include a roundabout at the intersection of Hague Road and SR 32 that will be constructed in coordination and partnership with the Indiana Department of Transportation.
PROJECT MILESTONES.
The bridge deck has been poured for the new bridge over the White River. This milestone is a big step in creating another east-west connection for Noblesville.
Eighth Street opened to traffic two weeks ahead of schedule. The two new roundabouts will improve traffic flow and safety, making it easier to visit downtown Noblesville.
Phases 2 and 3 will begin work this Winter. These phases will widen the existing Pleasant Street to four lanes, reconstruct the roundabout at 19th Street, and build a new roundabout at the intersection of Hague Road and State Road 32.
