Starting today, closures begin at Towne Road roundabouts
Submitted by City of Carmel
The City of Carmel is moving forward with several infrastructure projects this summer and fall with the goal of improving pedestrian safety, expanding trail access, and enhancing 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,” City Engineer Bradley Pease said. “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 today, 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. Be sure to drive carefully and follow all detour signage.
Multi-use path projects & road impacts
Several multi-use path projects are also underway or preparing to begin across the city. These improvements will fill sidewalk and trail gaps, improve pedestrian safety, and expand access to neighborhoods, parks and schools.
