Construction Ramping Up on Reimagine Pleasant Project
According to our friends in the Noblesville city government, construction activity will be ramping up for all three phases of the Reimagine Pleasant Street project as the weather continues to improve.
While Phase 1 is now open to traffic, crews will be planting trees, flowers and shrubs along the corridor as part of the commitment to create an aesthetically pleasing corridor. Other visually appealing items like stamped crosswalks and elements on Walnut Street to accommodate the Midland Trace Trail will be installed in the coming weeks.
Preliminary work for Phase 2 has begun, and crews will prepare the area along Pleasant Street between 13th and 16th streets for construction. Pleasant Street will be reconstructed and widened to four lanes, and a new bridge will be constructed over the Wilson Drain. When complete, Pleasant Street will serve as an emergency route, an important part of becoming a more resilient city.
Crews are continuing construction of the new bridge over Cicero Creek as part of Phase 3 construction. This summer, the intersection of Hague Road and SR 32 will be closed to build a new roundabout. As part of the project, which is being constructed in partnership with the Indiana Department of Transportation, two pedestrian tunnels are being installed: one under SR 32 and one under Pleasant Street. These tunnels provide a safe way for Midland Trace Trail users to cross Pleasant Street to continue along the trail, and to cross under State Road 32 in order to access the Hague Road Trail.
The official closure schedule and detour route are being finalized and will be released before the closure.
