Noblesville city officials and construction crew members from E&B Paving, 3D Company, HWC Engineering, and Butler, Fairman & Seufert, Inc. gathered at Olio Road for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the completion of the new Corporate Campus infrastructure improvements.

The project reopened to traffic Tuesday evening – more than three months ahead of schedule.

“This project improves travel and safety in a growing area of our city,” said Mayor Chris Jensen. “It also improves access to one of the greatest outdoor music venues in America, so concert fans can get in and out of Ruoff Music Center easier.”

The new Corporate Campus infrastructure improvements included:

  • Widening Olio Road from 141st Street to 146th Street to four lanes
  • Widening 146th Street from Bergen Boulevard to Olio Road to three lanes
  • A two-lane roundabout replaced the two-way stop at Olio Road and 146th Street
  • Correcting significant drainage problems in the area
  • Extending sanitary availability to ground surrounding the project area
  • Adding 10-foot-wide paths to the west side of Olio Road and the north side of 146th Street

The $9 million project was fully funded by the City of Noblesville.
