CarmelLink Construction Projects and Updates

CITY CENTER DRIVE AND VETERANS WAY: This roundabout is approaching the second half of phase one, 1b (see map below), which will close the south half of the intersection on or after May 30 with completion of the roundabout on July 3. Westbound traffic will be maintained and eastbound traffic will cease for the remainder of the project. The entrance to the Carmel City Center shops and Hotel Carmichael on City Center Drive will close temporarily, allowing access from the south entrance of the Veterans Way garage or the east entrance of the City Center garage on Range Line Road. 

MAIN STREET - LEXINGTON BOULEVARD TO RICHLAND AVENUE: This section of Main Street will close on or after May 30 for the construction of the roundabout at Lexington Boulevard and work on Main Street between Lexington and Richland. Westbound and local traffic will reopen before the July 4 holiday for the remainder of the project. Substantial completion is expected in August before the start of school. Restoration and planting may continue.

3RD AVENUE SW: Construction on 3rd Avenue SW is expected to begin on or after July 5. Work will begin under a full closure between Autumn Drive and Industrial Drive and local traffic will be maintained throughout this phase of work. The greater part of this construction will take place during 2024 with an expected completion in winter 2024.

Carmel Street Department Paving

The Carmel Street Department's annual paving projects will continue through the summer. The process to repave is extensive and can take anywhere from one week to several months to complete designated sections. 

Initial concrete work began throughout the city in early April. The list below shows the anticipated order of paving projects remaining.  Click here for more information about the City's paving projects.
