Rain Barrels are back!
Here's a sneak peek of a few of the 2022 Rain on Main artist barrels!
Rain on Main, the popular painted rain barrel contest and online auction presented by Carmel Utilities, Carmel Department of Storm Water Management and the Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District, kicks off today with a display of 20 decorated barrels in the Carmel Arts & Design District. The barrels will be prominently featured along Main Street throughout the following week before they are relocated to the Carmel Farmers Market.
The artistic barrel designs will be judged on opening weekend by an independent panel of judges and the first, second and third place artists will receive cash prizes. There will also be a “People’s Choice” award based on individual barrel “likes” on the Rain on Main Facebook page beginning today at noon until 10 a.m. Saturday, August 20.

CarmelLink summer construction updates
The City of Carmel works diligently with consultants, contractors, utilities and others to develop schedules and complete projects in a timely manner. Despite these efforts there are times that delays, conflicts and procurement issues can have impacts to these schedules beyond our control. We greatly appreciate your patience while we work to make the roadways safer and more efficient.
CarmelLink Construction Projects
West Smoky Row Reconstruction: This project includes the reconstruction of Smoky Row Road, west of Range Line Road, including a new bridge over Little Cool Creek. Delays to the bridge construction will keep the road closed past the start of school. The project is expected to be substantially complete and open to traffic before the year ends.
East Smoky Row slip lane at Keystone Parkway: This work will continue through October with no scheduled closures of the intersection.
Main Street Roundabouts (Richland/Lexington) at Carmel High School: The south side of the new Lexington Boulevard roundabout will be under construction as school begins with two-way traffic maintained on Main Street north of the construction. The Lexington Boulevard roundabout is anticipated to be complete in October with a scheduled traffic switch in mid-September to complete the north side of the roundabout.
