Downtown Noblesville road closures, traffic delays coming. Here's how long they'll last

Downtown Noblesville commuters should brace for traffic delays and long-term road closures next week as work crews begin the heavy lifting on the $113 million Pleasant Street reconstruction.

Several streets will be closed for five months starting Monday.

“This will be the first major construction associated with the Reimagine Pleasant Street project that impacts residents and motorists,” Mayor Chris Jensen said in a news release.

Unpredictable Abnormally dry month for Indiana impacts farmers, but how severe is it?

The following streets will be closed for 150 days:

  • Eighth Street between Mulberry Street and Washington Street.

  • Pleasant Street between Sixth Street and Ninth Street.

  • Alley between Eighth Street and Ninth Street at Pleasant Street.

Also beginning next week, Walnut Street at Eighth Street will be permanently closed, as well as Seventh Street at Pleasant. Posted roadway and pedestrian detour routes should be used during the closures.

“The construction team has coordinated the closures with our public safety officials and access to all property owners will be maintained during this phase of construction,” Jensen said.

City officials will monitor traffic and make adjustments accordingly, Jensen said.

After two weeks traffic should settle into a regular pattern. If there are still concerns residents can call the Noblesville Engineering Department at 317-776-6330.

The rebuilding extends from Hague Road west of the river to just short of State Road 37 and will include construction of several roundabouts, and bridges over the White River and Cicero Creek.
