Work Begins On Keystone And 96th Street Interchange

Construction began today on ramps that will elevate Keystone Avenue over 96th Street as part of the 96th Street Corridor Improvement Project in Carmel.

Traffic on Keystone will be limited to two lanes in either direction, northbound and southbound, as a result of the project. To avoid the construction entirely, drivers can take U.S. 31 as a detour. On 96th Street, traffic will be moved to the south lanes, with one lane open in each direction from Keystone to just east of Priority Way.

Traffic lights at 96th Street and Hazel Dell Parkway, 96th Street and Gray Road, 96th Street and Delegates Row, 96th Street and Priority Way, and 96th Street and Keystone Parkway will be replaced with roundabouts as a part of the project.

According to the city, the project will be completed in 2019 after preliminary work this year.
