Hamilton County and the City of Noblesville will mark the completion of the Logan Street Bridge project with a ribbon cutting at 4 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 6.
Reconstruction of the bridge started in July 2018. The $4.3 million project widened the bridge over the White River to accommodate sidewalks on both sides and construct a new bridge deck. An 18-by-150 river overlook area was also constructed along the south side of the bridge.

“The overlook will provide a nice gathering spot for special events,” said Steve Dillinger, president of the Hamilton County Commissioners. “And the new sidewalks will give pedestrians much safer access across the river, especially those walking between downtown, Riverwalk and Federal Hill Commons.”
Completion of the bridge was delayed by a rainy spring which caused the White River to flood, hindering early construction progress. Some minor work, like permanent pavement markings, may need to be delayed until warm weather in the spring.
“We apologize for the delay in construction,” Dillinger said, “But we’re confident this project will have been worth the wait. We appreciate the public’s patience.”
Construction also includes new lighting and other aesthetics. The City of Noblesville is contributing $1.5 million toward the total cost of the project.
