More than 80 streets are scheduled for an upgrade this spring and summer as the City of Carmel Street Department kicks off its annual paving projects with a budget of $5.2 million to improve local thoroughfares. Some of the preliminary work will begin this week with major paving set to begin April 12.

"As much as we focus our efforts on building new roundabouts and increasing our multi-purpose trails and pathways, it is also important to keep our existing roadways in top condition," said Mayor Jim Brainard. "We work hard to create a high quality of life in Carmel and that includes having smooth, pothole-free roads on which to drive in our city."

This year’s budget for street paving includes a $1 million Community Crossings grant from the Indiana Department of Transportation, which will allow the City to repave seven of its busiest parkways and thoroughfares.

Each paving project begins with preliminary concrete and curb repairs that can take a few weeks to complete before the big job of milling the top surface of blacktop and repaving it with a new layer of about 1.25 inches in thickness. Typical milling and paving projects take 3-5 days to complete and require lane restrictions.

"Our Goal is to have all the pavement work done before school starts in the fall, with concrete street repairs lasting until November if needed," said Terry Killen, Carmel Street Commissioner. "Concrete work can be done later in the calendar year when the weather starts to turn colder."
