Workers on heavy machinery will begin doing much of the work on the edges of Keystone Parkway, prompting the need to close lanes. Traffic will continue to flow through the construction zone, but there will only be two lanes of traffic in either direction, northbound and southbound. Motorists who usually travel on Keystone Parkway have the option of using U.S. 31 as a detour around this project.
Traffic on 96th Street will be moved to the south lanes, from Keystone to just east of Priority Way, with one lane open in each direction through the corridor.
Work on the interchange is part of the City of Carmel's 96th Street Corridor Improvement Project which is transforming traffic flow and improving access to businesses along this busy corridor from White River to Keystone Parkway. Two roundabouts are already under construction along 96th Street.
Traffic lights at key intersections along 96th Street are being replaced with more efficient and safe roundabouts. Those intersections include:
- 96th Street and Hazel Dell Parkway
- 96th Street and Gray Road
- 96th Street and Delegates Row
- 96th Street and Priority Way
- 96th Street and Keystone Parkway
The Keystone Parkway portion of the project will include construction of a major new interchange with grade separation - Keystone will be elevated over 96th Street - with roundabout-controlled ramps similar to U.S. 31 interchanges at 106th and 116th Streets. After preliminary work this year, the interchange will be largely completed in 2019, including a project that will improve the intersection of 96th Street and Haverstick Road, just west of Keystone.
