The City of Noblesville temporarily closed a portion of the southbound lane of Little Chicago Road between State Road 38 and Buttonwood Drive to make an emergency repair to the roadway.

An inspection from the Noblesville Street and Engineering departments determined that the culvert under the southbound lane was washed out due to recent rainy weather. Noblesville Street Department crews are currently onsite to fix the portion of the road. A temporary patch will be constructed now and will be replaced permanently once asphalt plants are back in service in April/May.

Little Chicago Road reopened to normal traffic flow at 5 p.m. Friday.
