Hamilton County has hired United Consulting Engineers to begin design work on the bridge at Hazel Dell Parkway and 106th Street in Carmel.

As the latest photos demonstrate, this will be a significant project involving not only replacement of the bridge, but also rebuilding portions of Hazel Dell Parkway washed away in the flooding.

The next step will be demolition of the existing structure, with construction currently anticipated to begin in November. Given the scope and complexity of the project, we hope to reopen the bridge in late 2027 or early 2028.

Individuals impacted by recent storms who are displaced from their homes may qualify for hotel or temporary rental assistance offered by the Indiana Housing & Community Development Authority (IHCDA).

Eligibility is based on being displaced from your home as a direct result of the storms that occurred on Aug. 11, 2026, and living in a county that has issued a disaster declaration. “Displaced” means the home is not currently safe or habitable.

The first step in the process is to contact 211 to report your damage. Based on the assessment, Indiana 211 will make referrals to IHCDA for qualified residents. To report damage, call 866‑211‑9966 or visit the Indiana 211 website at in211.communityos.org.
