The City of Carmel works diligently with consultants, contractors, utilities and others to develop schedules and complete projects in a timely manner. Despite these efforts there are times that delays, conflicts and procurement issues can have impacts to these schedules beyond the city’s control. Your patience is greatly appreciated while the city works to make the roadways safer and more efficient.
