Beginning on or after March 3rd, construction crews will close 116th Street at Keystone Parkway for approximately 15 days, weather permitting. The closure will allow crews to finish removing the temporary pavement used to maintain four lanes of Keystone traffic throughout 116th Street’s construction. Cross traffic at 116th Street will be closed and motorists are asked to follow posted detour routes for this short period (please note that utility work on Westfield Boulevard will stop during this period allowing Range Line Road/Westfield Boulevard to be included in these detour routes). Four lanes of traffic will be maintained on Keystone Parkway under the 116th Street bridge during the closure period.
A detour map is shown in this article.
116th and Keystone intersection to close as early as March 3 For Current in Carmel
Beginning on or after March 3rd, construction crews will close 116th Street at Keystone Parkway for approximately 15 days, weather permitting. The closure will allow crews to finish removing the temporary pavement used to maintain four lanes of Keystone traffic throughout 116th Street’s construction. Cross traffic at 116th Street will be closed and motorists are asked to follow posted detour routes for this short period (please note that utility work on Westfield Boulevard will stop during this period allowing Range Line Road/Westfield Boulevard to be included in these detour routes). Four lanes of traffic will be maintained on Keystone Parkway under the 116th Street bridge during the closure period.
Final tie-ins to the bridge structure along with final construction of the roundabout will be completed prior to opening the 116th Street bridge to cross-street traffic.
Additionally, in preparation for construction at the Carmel Drive intersection, construction crews will be working during the weekend to install a large box culvert under Keystone Parkway just north of Carmel Drive. During the box culvert installation, one lane of traffic in each direction will be maintained at all times with varying traffic patterns. During the weekends, traffic will use a temporary cross-over to avoid the construction area.
Motorists are asked to use extreme caution in this area for their safety and the safety of construction workers. A 40 mile-per-hour speed limit is in effect and will be enforced in this construction zone along with the entire Keystone Parkway corridor from 96th Street to US-31.
The 116th Street interchange is part of the second phase of a three-year project to lower the grade of Keystone Parkway under six major interchanges along the five-mile stretch. When completed, the north-south traffic on Keystone Parkway will be free-flowing with no traffic lights between 96th Street and 146th Street, and tear-drop shaped roundabout interchanges will manage the east-west traffic flow.
