The public is invited to join the City of Carmel for a celebration of the substantial completion of the 96th & Keystone interchange project at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, Dec. 30 at Tom Wood Ford, 3130 E. 96th St.
Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard, city officials, contractors, business stakeholders and anyone from the public is invited to attend.
In 2016 the city of Carmel embarked on a $28.7 million project to improve the safety and mobility at one of the worst rated intersections in Indiana, the 96th and Keystone signalized intersection, situated just north of Interstate 465. After years of planning, preconstruction and utility relocations began in 2018, the bulk of construction took place in 2019 with the goal of completion by the end of the year.
The city of Carmel will formally celebrate the substantial completion with a ribbon cutting ceremony for the newest roundabout interchange in the city. Some work will continue through the rest of the winter months, and when the weather is more advantageous, crews will return to finish certain weather dependent items such as the final layer of asphalt, permanent pavement markings, landscape features, and painting of the bridge structure.
