Noblesville will begin reconstruction of two necessary road projects in the coming weeks. The projects come in conjunction with the timing of two major sequences: 1) Asphalt plants are now opening for the season; and 2) Spring break for Noblesville Schools.
Work on 171st Street is expected to be finished by Thursday, April 5. (Graphic provided)
The first project is the repair of 171st Street (between Cherry Tree Road and Willowview Road). The Noblesville Street Department has been making temporary repairs to the roadway throughout the winter until this more permanent repair could be made.
Crews will mobilize to 171st Street on Wednesday, March 28 to begin the complete reconstruction of the roadway. Weather permitting, the project is anticipated to be completed by Thursday, April 5. The road will be closed to through traffic for the duration of the project. Access to Willow Lake subdivision will come from Willowview Road and access to Cherry Tree Meadows subdivision will come from Cherry Tree Road. Residents within the closure area will have access maintained from the east from Cherry Tree Road.
Road closure signs have been placed and letters to affected homeowners have been mailed.
The second project for the city is the permanent culvert repair on Little Chicago Road. On Feb. 23, the city made an emergency repair to the road between State Road 38 and Buttonwood Drive. At the time, a temporary patch was constructed and it was determined the culvert needed replaced along with a permanent repair of the roadway.
Work on Little Chicago Road will cause a complete closure for one day. Work is anticipated during the week of April 2. Road closure signs will be placed near the work site ahead of construction.
