Customers and delivery drivers headed to Carmel’s Merchants Square have a new construction date to plan around: Monday, November 9. The city’s November 3 traffic alert schedules the first phase of water and sewer work for that day. Its October 9 announcement had given an end-of-October target.
Businesses are expected to stay accessible, according to the city. Pump-around operations are expected during the opening week, with access changes near BASH. The alert links closure and detour exhibits; drivers should check those for route details and allow extra time.
The notice sets a timetable. It does not establish that construction has begun or that any phase is complete.
