The City of Noblesville has temporarily closed Boden Road between 166th Street and Castle Pine Drive in the Blue Ridge Creek subdivision to make an emergency repair to a portion of the roadway. A pothole was reported at the site and upon further inspection from the Noblesville Street Department, the issue was determined to be more severe than originally anticipated.

“The stone between a 30-inch culvert pipe and the road asphalt had been completely washed out, leaving a foot of empty space. Thanks to observant people, we are able to fix the issue before a road failure or collapse took place,” said Street Commissioner Patty Johnson.

The culvert was inspected by the city’s engineering department in the past year.

“The damage was due to the amount of water we’ve received in the past month or two,” Johnson said.

The city has a contractor mobilizing onsite to repair the culvert and road. Officials estimate the closure to last three days, depending on when materials can be delivered. Detour signs have been posted directing traffic from 166th Street to Olio Road to 156th Street. Klipsch Music Center has been notified of the closure and the city hopes to have the road reopen as soon as possible.
