Carmel road construction updates

Main Street roundabouts

Main Street is now closed at Richland Avenue and Lexington Boulevard for construction of two roundabouts. 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 at first Avenue NW and first Street NW. There is access to the Sophia Square parking garage from West Main Street as well as from first Street NW. This traffic pattern will be in place for the duration of this work which will extend through June. Full completion of this project is estimated for July.
