Main Street roundabouts

Preliminary work is underway at the two intersections on Main Street near Carmel High School. On or after May 26, the roundabouts at Richland Avenue and Lexington Boulevard will begin construction under closures.

Access to Carmel Christian Church and the educational buildings on the south side of Main Street will be maintained from the east side of the project along Main Street with the majority of construction completed prior to the start of school in August.

1st Avenue NW

The construction east of Sophia Square continues on Veterans Way and to the north at the intersection of 1st Avenue NW and 1st Street NW. Access to the Sophia Square parking garage will now be from West Main Street instead of from 1st Street NW. This traffic pattern will be in place for the duration of this work which will extend through May; full completion of this project is estimated for June.

Smoky Row project

This project, beginning on or after May 26, is the reconstruction of the current two-lane road into a boulevard with a landscaped median, new curbs, storm water collection, multi-use paths, new bridges on Smoky Row and on the Monon Greenway, north of Smoky Row. In addition, a new roundabout will be built at the west end of the project limits on Smoky Row.
