City of Carmel recently issued the following announcement.

Range Line Road reconstruction project will result in full closure beginning March 14; partial closures to follow

The long-awaited reconstruction of South Range Line Road – from Carmel Drive to 116th Street – is set to begin on March 14. The project will include the removal of traffic signals and construction of two new roundabouts, enhanced pedestrian connectivity and safety along with a beautifully- landscaped median. Unlike other sections of Range Line Road to the north, the City will maintain two lanes of traffic in each direction, due to the multiple businesses located on both sides of the street.

Important Dates:

• Monday, March 14 - Expect a full closure of the intersection at Range Line Road and Medical Drive for about 45 days for the construction of a roundabout. The roads leading up to the intersection will be open for businesses, but there will be no through-traffic.
• Sunday, May 1 - Expect a partial closure of Range Line Road at 116th Street for about 80 days as work on that roundabout begins. One lane in each direction on 116th Street will remain open throughout construction. Right hand turns only will be allowed at this intersection during this project.

Originally funded by a city bond in 2016, a period of long-range planning and utility coordination commenced last fall with the relocation of a water main in the western-most lane of traffic. Additional work has been ongoing since February 28 but traffic has been maintained.
