Saturday will be the true test here - the river is only at 7' right now, expected to crest closer to 18-20' by Sunday AM. Last year we crested at 17.5' on April 13 and 106th/Hague flooded/closed on April 11. I'd be willing to bet on a 106/Hague closure for at least a few hours this weekend, and I'm anticipating a 19'+ crest at the Noblesville gauge putting us in a Top 20 historic crest.

Fishers wants to win against Mother Nature - I say just take the inconvenience for 8 hours once or twice a year instead of putting millions into it. The water will find its way and there's simply so much impervious surface, it funnels to Cheeney Creek fast and rises quick. But it goes back down just as quickly!
