The City of Carmel has a lot of road work ahead. Nearly 40 projects are scheduled for 2017.

“The City of Carmel has a very aggressive construction schedule for 2017 and it will be important for you to plan ahead to make sure your regular routes are available, and if not, to determine your best detour before you head out the door,” stated a news release announcing the project schedule.

All of these projects have already been funded through a $229 million bond package approved in January 2016.

For updates on which projects have started or been delayed and any necessary detours, the city is advising people to visit carmellink.com or download the CarmelLink app for smartphones.

The City will add multi-use paths in the South West Clay area, along with storm water improvements, primarily along Ditch Road, Towne Road and Shelborne Road. Storm water improvements will take place in the Crooked Stick area well, which is expected to be completed by mid-July 2017. A new path is being constructed along West Carmel Drive and road improvements will take place this March along Spring Mill Road between Millridge Drive and 106th Street. It will take about three months to reconstruct that road. The city also announced that the 126th Street road improvements will continue into summer 2017 but traffic will be maintained in the westbound direction for the duration of the project, which will ease detour issues.

New roundabouts are set to begin construction along Gray Road, 96th Street, 116th Street and Range Line Road.
