CARMEL, Ind. -- Spring is upon us, and though we’ve been facing colder temperatures than normal, that chilly streak will soon come to an end and we’ll feel the warmth of the season.
Inevitably, along with spring and summer comes road construction.
The City of Carmel released its tentative construction plans for 2018, in order to prepare you for restrictions, closures, and detours that will pop up around town.
The hope is for you to use the tentative schedule to plan ahead and make sure your regular routes are available -- and if not, find the best detour to accommodate your commute.
Again, this is only a tentative schedule, as many variable factor into the exact start and finish dates.
The City of Carmel will send notices of closures or detours prior to the beginning of each project.
Here is a list of projects, courtesy the City of Carmel, you can expect during each season.
