Range Line Road Corridor recognized for improvements to road safety and design
Carmel Mayor Sue Finkam announced Wednesday that the City of Carmel has received a National Recognition Award in the American Council of Engineering Companies’ (ACEC) 2024 Engineering Excellence Awards competition for the Range Line Road Corridor Project.
Deemed by ACEC as “the world’s greatest celebration of engineering excellence,” the award honors projects demonstrating exceptional engineering excellence at the national level.
Completed at the end of 2023, the city partnered with American Structurepoint, Inc., which provided overall program management services for the design and construction of the entire corridor and design and engineering services for roundabouts, streetscape design, and landscape architecture.

“We are so grateful for and proud to receive the ACEC Engineering Excellence Award in recognition of the contributions of so many at the City of Carmel and American Structurepoint,” City Engineer Jeremy Kashman said. “This area is now a pedestrian and bicycle-friendly, streetscaped corridor providing improved public safety, more efficient traffic flow and inviting access to destinations where residents and visitors can live, play and work. It is also an example of the City of Carmel leading the nation in our Safe System initiatives, an approach which aims to improve safety for all road users.”

“Congratulations to everyone at the City and American Structurepoint for this much-deserved recognition,” Mayor Finkam said. “Safety should always be a major focus for our infrastructure programs, and we are proud that the Range Line Road Corridor is a shining example of a safety-focused project that also provides high-quality design and enhances the overall desirability of our community.”
Kashman will attend the awards ceremony in Washington, D.C., on May 15 to accept the national award on the city’s behalf. The Range Line Road Corridor project also received a similar award from the ACEC Indiana chapter earlier this year.
