A painful but necessary project.
The bigger context is that this is one of a series of projects totaling likely north of $250 million to transform the SR 32 corridor into a proper east-west arterial in this rapidly growing area. It’s similar to how the county expanded 146th.
There’s this $21.7 million project.
There’s an $82 million project to widen and redo intersections with roundabouts between Westfield and Noblesville
There was the just completed reconstruction of SR 32 through historic downtown Noblesville.
There’s the city of Noblesville’s $125 million Pleasant St. bypass construction (since SR 32 cannot be widened through downtown Noblesville).
Starting in about five years, INDOT also plans to convert the segment of SR 37 north of 146th St. to a freeway, which will include interchanges at SR 32 and Pleasant St.
This huge investments are needed to keep pace with growth and urban transformation in Hamilton County and and avoid traffic nightmares. It will also set the state for future revival in downtown Westfield as the article indicates.
Kudos to leaders in Westfield, Noblesville, INDOT and elsewhere who have made the difficult decision to build these costly, painful projects that are very needed.
Since you brought up 146th Street, the cities of Westfield and Noblesville along with the county and state should pay heed to what’s happened there. With the reconstruction of 146th and Allisonville to a split interchange more than half complete and 146th and Hazel Dell set to get the same treatment starting in ’26 or ’27 and the early indications that other signalized intersections along 146th may as well, I hope all these intergovernmental agencies are not only taking the long view but integrating past experience as well into the 32 reconstruction. After all, it’s difficult to create these arterial east west routes at the same time as you have small subdivisions and people’s individual driveways emptying into them. Someone turning right from their neighborhood street onto 32 where people are doing 50+ mph is just asking for a serious accident to occur.
