Next phase begins on Noblesville’s Embrace Downtown construction

Construction of Phase 1A of Noblesville’s Embrace Downtown project is now complete. Crews have begun Phase 1B construction to improve infrastructure, enhance pedestrian safety, and introduce beautification upgrades throughout downtown.

Phase 1B construction will take place on Logan Street from Eighth Street through the intersection at Ninth Street. The intersection of Eighth and Logan streets will be open throughout Phase 1B construction. During this time, Logan Street will be closed from east of Eighth Street through the Ninth Street intersection.

Business access will be maintained throughout construction, but there will be no parking on Logan Street between Eighth Street and Ninth Street.

“We encourage everyone to continue to visit our downtown businesses as we address these critical infrastructure upgrades,” Mayor Chris Jensen said. “The improvements we are making will promote a vibrant and healthy downtown economy. We look forward to the lasting impact Embrace Downtown will have on Noblesville.”

During Phase 1B, a six-foot wide sidewalk will be maintained adjacent to building frontages for visitors to gain access to businesses. The remaining portion of sidewalk and street up to the Hamilton County Courthouse seat wall will be closed as work progresses.

Access to businesses will remain throughout the construction, and detours for vehicles and pedestrians will be clearly identified.

In addition to widening the sidewalks, crews will be removing curbs, installing landscaping buffers, and more to cultivate a traffic-calmed environment centered around pedestrian safety and accessibility.

Phase 1C construction will immediately follow the current Phase 1B construction, which is anticipated to last until Fall. Phase 1C construction involves the removal and replacement of the existing six-foot wide sidewalk that is being maintained in Phase 1B with a new decorative paver sidewalk.

Overall construction is anticipated to be complete in November 2026, weather dependent.
