With warm and dry weather in the future, residents and commuters will begin to notice more road construction in Carmel. Several of the projects listed in the 2019 schedule of projects have already begun and motorists should be aware of road restrictions in these areas. In addition, the Carmel Street Department has begun its spring and summer paving projects.
The City of Carmel takes care of its roads by maintaining what already exists and improving and expanding what is needed to ensure the necessary infrastructure for residents and businesses to thrive. We have completed about $21 million worth of storm water improvements throughout the City since the beginning of 2016 along with the construction of about 30 new roundabouts and multiple road and pedestrian connectivity improvements.

- Monon Boulevard and Midtown Expansion: Ongoing, completion by end of 2019.
