GRAND PROJECT
Project: 96th Street and Keystone Parkway Interchange and Corridor Improvement
Owner: City of Carmel
Description: The 96th Street and Keystone Parkway Interchange was key to the 96th Street Corridor Improvement Project, which replaced traffic lights at key intersections with more efficient and safer roundabouts. This transformative project has greatly reduced congestion and enhanced business access at what was formerly one of the most congested corridors in Indiana. The primary effort involved a split-grade teardrop roundabout interchange, six-lane bridge, collector-distributor roadway, five 96th Street roundabouts, street reconstruction, and three connector roadways. New multi-use paths and sidewalks were also created. Daily users now enjoy a noticeably faster commute, with travel times reduced by upwards of 15 minutes.
