The City of Carmel has identified right-of-way improvements and estimated a schedule of work for the 2023 construction season. The Department of Engineering is issuing this schedule to keep the community informed about projects that will greatly impact the city over the next year.
It is always the goal to maintain schedules and timelines for projects, keeping in mind that circumstances such as weather, utilities and unforeseen circumstances can sometimes affect the desired timeline.
