City of Carmel gives updates on construction projects

CARMEL, Ind. (WISH) — Before your child goes to school, the City of Carmel wants to make sure you’re up to date on all the latest construction projects that could affect you.

Several infrastructure projects are continuing through 2025, including a raised crosswalk project on Towne Road, reconstructing College Avenue, and two bridge projects.

First, the ever-growing number of roundabouts in Carmel is expanding with a new set at North College Avenue near 96th Street.

“The new roundabout at College Avenue improves safety and traffic flow at a key entry to the Carmel Gateway campus,” City Engineer Bradley Pease said in a press release. “Roundabouts significantly reduce injury crashes and this project reflects our commitment to infrastructure that enhances both quality of life and long-term economic vitality.”

The next phase of work on College Avenue is the reconstruction of the northbound lane north of I-465 to 106th street. Northbound access from 101st through 105th streets will be closed, but southbound traffic will be open. Construction will begin in August and is expected to last the rest of the year.

Second, the City of Carmel gave an update into construction on Towne Road.

Construction will build a raised pedestrian crosswalk with rapid-flashing LED beacons at several intersections on Towne Road. Workers are currently building on Towne Road at 116th Street, but they’ll soon expand to 126th and Glebe streets later this week.

“A brief, one-week overlap of closures at these intersections is expected as crews accelerate the construction schedule,” the press release says. Construction is expected to be done by Aug. 5, but Main Street will remain open until then.

Over on 126th Street, reconstruction work has begun on the bridge near Royce Court and Brookshire Golf club. Barring weather delays, the project will be done by the end of October.

Clay Center Road will close at the end of August to tear down the bridge near North Claridge Farm. Supply-chain issues delayed construction, so the project is expected to be finished by December.

Clay Center Elementary will still have access from the south via 116th Street.
