Noblesville will begin its annual street rehabilitation projects shortly to address the most necessary infrastructure needs within the city. The city has awarded $3,730,069.36 through two contracts to address road and alley repaving and repair work to sidewalks and ramps.

“This year’s list contains projects in every quadrant of the city that will positively impact resident’s neighborhoods and motorists traveling in Noblesville,” Mayor John Ditslear said.

This year’s recently bid rehabilitation projects include 12 miles of streets and 2.25 miles of alleys in Old Town Noblesville – an increase from the 10 street miles and 1.6 alley miles resurfaced last year. The contracts include the city’s annual street rehabilitation with E&B Paving and the Community Crossings Grant with Midwest Paving.

“Over the past year, we have completely inventoried and viewed all streets and alleys. Once each road is evaluated and graded, a street rehabilitation list is made based on priority,” said Jim Hellmann, assistant city engineer. “We make every effort to address the worst ones or areas.”

In addition to these projects, the city has already begun resurfacing work on Olio Road-146th Street and construction on the Greenfield Avenue-Howe Road roundabout. Those costs are not included in either contract.

Signs will be placed onsite a week before construction begins and mailings are being sent to affected homeowners. This construction will cause minor inconveniences including traffic delays, temporary loss of street parking, construction noise and access restrictions. All measures will be taken to facilitate construction in a quick and timely fashion.

Project status and updates will be reported via the city’s social media feeds. For more information, contact the Engineering Department at 317-776-6330.
