CARMEL, Ind., June 23, 2025 - The City of Carmel is moving forward with several important infrastructure projects this summer and fall to improve pedestrian safety, expand trail access and enhance neighborhood connectivity. Residents and commuters should expect road closures, lane restrictions and detours in various parts of the city.
“This work goes beyond just sidewalks and crosswalks — it’s about improving how people move around Carmel,” said City Engineer Bradley Pease. “While construction can be inconvenient in the short term, these projects will make our streets safer and more accessible for years to come.”
TOWNE ROAD CLOSURES
Starting Wednesday, June 25, construction will begin on raised pedestrian crosswalks at seven roundabouts along Towne Road. Each roundabout will close for approximately one month, with detours posted and closures staggered as follows:
- Phase 1: 106th Street & Towne Road, 131st Street & Towne Road
- Phase 2: 116th Street & Towne Road, 136th Street & Towne Road
- Phase 3: 126th Street & Towne Road, Glebe Street & Towne Road
- Final Phase: 141st Street & Towne Road
The full project is expected to be completed by October 2025. Please drive carefully and follow all detour signage.
