The City of Carmel has revealed their game plan for the 2025 road construction schedule, and it's packed with projects aiming to ameliorate traffic flow, bolster stormwater management, and enhance paths for bikers and pedestrians. As per an announcement released by the City of Carmel, the update provided includes several key projects, though residents should review the entire agenda for a detailed understanding of the traffic implications over the year.
A significant venture for the city will be the College Avenue Reconstruction. This project set to ramp up come spring and looks to carry on, through the course of 2025, even spilling over into the following year. The focus is on North College Avenue, stretching from 96th Street to 106th Street. According to the City of Carmel's bulletin, there's hope to fast-track to this undertaking, but the timeline still foresees construction extending into 2026.
Another area of focus will be at the Hazel Dell Parkway and 106th Street, where a roundabout already exists. However, residents should anticipate a full closure sometime early March to set up raised pedestrian crosswalks that focus on the safety aspects for those on foot.
Not falling behind on the nurturing of sustainable transport options, the city plans to press on with the expansion of its multi-use path network throughout the year. Stretches including the W. 96th Street path from Spring Mill Road to Ditch Road, W. 116th Street path from Shelborne Road to Michigan Road, among others, are slated for construction in 2025, the city report confirms. These paths are vital for a city seeing an uptick in residents favoring greener, healthier modes of travel.
With these developments, Carmel residents can anticipate some temporary inconveniences on the road. For a holistic outlook, residents are encouraged to access the city's full construction schedule to stay informed of the changes ahead.
