Range Line Road construction set to begin Aug. 3 in Carmel

Submitted by City of Carmel

As was announced earlier this year, starting Monday, Aug. 3, northbound Range Line Road between Executive Drive and City Center Drive will be under construction to build a new multi-use path, on-street parking, and environmental features designed to improve safety and accessibility.

The new asphalt multi-use path will provide a smoother ride by continuing through driveways instead of dipping and rising at each crossing. By carrying the asphalt path material through driveways instead of breaking it up at every crossing, this project creates a more comfortable ride and communicates a message of priority for pedestrians and cyclists.

The posted detour route, as indicated in the map, uses 3rd Avenue SW. Southbound Range Line Road will remain open to traffic.

Mayor Sue Finkam said the current pathway along this portion of Range Line Road is under-utilized, prompting the city to make the adjustments.

“Feedback from residents and riders over the years has guided this design, balancing the needs of cyclists with overall safety and accessibility,” Mayor Finkam said.

Project completion is estimated before the opening of the Christkindlmarkt in November.
