Read MoreThe state and the city of Noblesville are setting the stage to overhaul four intersections along a 2-mile stretch: at Greenfield Avenue, Town and Country Boulevard, Pleasant Street and State Road 32/38.
Read MoreMayor Scott Fadness told the Fishers City Council during a budget presentation Monday night that the city will solicit contractor bids for the project in April. He said the city has set aside about $20 million for the project.
The Noblesville City Council approved the bond anticipation note Tuesday to set the stage for a much larger future bond dedicated to the planned Pleasant Street expansion project.
A five-mile stretch of State Road 37 will be closed most of this year because of work on Interstate 69, and many local businesses expect a big influx of traffic through downtown as a result.
Officials are estimating the corridor improvements will run $47 million over the project’s original $124 million budget.
The three-year project has been a long time coming. Conversations about alleviating congestion on S.R. 37 in Fishers and Noblesville began in 2005.
