Hamilton County to Complete its Loop

Hamilton County cities Carmel and Fishers recently released plans to build a 14-foot pedestrian/bicycle bridge across White River, filling a half-mile gap in 106th Street. The planned bridge will connect Hazel (Dell) Landing on the Carmel side to Heritage Park at White River on the opposite bank, according to a spokesperson for Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation.

Bids for the project are expected to open today, July 20, 2023.  In total, the bridge is expected to be some 500 feet long and connect existing trails in the two parks. On the west side, 106th Street already has a multiuse trail alongside the roadway, ending at Hazel Dell Parkway; which is mirrored by a similar trail on the Fishers side.

In a recent press release, Carmel-Clay recreation says that, as of about April 17, 2021, the tunnel by which the Monon Trail passes under City Center Drive / 126th Street is closed for repairs and a facelift of sorts. According to their announcement, the trail will be closed through most or all of May, but re-open in time for a conference taking place in the town in early June. Work includes washing, patches, and a mural to be painted by Carmel HS band members.
