Work on the Reimagine Pleasant Street project is now underway and is detailed below. Stay up to date of the project’s progress by following along on Facebook and Twitter. You can also sign up to receive updates at ReimaginePleasantSt.com/contact.
Utility relocation
Duke Energy and CenterPoint Energy crews are actively relocating utility lines for the future Pleasant Street alignment. Some minor traffic restrictions will be happening throughout the area as they complete their work by the end of March. You may also notice additional truck traffic in the southwest quadrant as materials are delivered to the project area.
Bridge construction
The contractor is drilling the foundation shafts for the new bridge, and this work should be complete in the next 60 days. Drilling on the west side of the river is now complete. Equipment will move to the east side for drilling. Reinforcing steel placement and concrete pours will finish the below-ground foundation pieces.
Construction crews are preparing to remove the historic bridge that once carried the Midland Railway over the White River. Once the bridge has been removed, it will be carefully disassembled so that it can be reconstructed at a future date.
Sanitary sewer & storm water work
In the next 30 days, work will begin for improving the sanitary sewer system and installing new storm water systems. With drilling on the west side of the river complete, pipe crews will be in the area from the river to River Road installing the sanitary sewer and storm sewer systems. Service should remain uninterrupted during this time.
The Midland Railway bridge is going to be reconstructed? Are you kidding me! Noblesville has a problem of letting go of the past and developing a more modern city like its neighbors. Therefore it will always be known as Nobletucky.
