Attention anyone who plans to use the White River for boating, kayaking, canoeing, rafting, and or other recreational activities:
Construction of the new Pleasant Street bridge in and around the White River is causing some water traffic restrictions in the area approximately 2,700 feet south of the State Road 32/Conner Street bridge.
The river will remain open during construction, but the waterway has been restricted in the construction zone. Buoys and construction signage have been placed along the river in critical locations to alert waterway users and guide them through the construction zone.
The City of Noblesville and Beaty Construction have been coordinating the restrictions with Brian Cooley, the CEO of Outdoor Excursions, Inc., who operates the White River Canoe Company to help alert boaters and others about the construction.
Since this is an active construction zone, everyone should exercise caution as they navigate the river in this area and refrain from entering the construction zone. Due to the nature of construction, there could be unforeseen restrictions and/or closures of the waterway as the project progresses.
The area is anticipated to remain open throughout the 2023 construction season, and restrictions will place through 2024.
The construction is part of Reimagine Pleasant Street project. For more details, visit ReimaginePleasantSt.com or follow the project on Facebook and Twitter.
