FLOODING & INFRASTRUCTURE UPDATE: 106th St & Hazel Dell

City of Carmel crews, emergency personnel and regional partners continue working around the clock to address severe erosion and high-velocity floodwaters along the White River and Blue Woods Creek.

Here is what you need to know today:
➡️ Safety & Emergency Operations
• Crews on Site 24/7: Carmel Police, Fire and Utility crews are monitoring the area continuously, backed by flow alarms to detect sudden water movement instantly.
• Prioritizing Lives: Emergency responders are taking every precaution. Protecting human life remains our highest priority throughout this response.

➡️ Fighting the Water & Holding the Line
• Progress Being Made: After days of severe erosion, crews are currently successfully holding off further channel cutting by temporarily stabilizing the banks to redirect fast-moving water.
• Key Partners Step Up: Special thanks to Martin Marietta for supplying critical emergency materials and Gradex and Thieneman Construction
for providing equipment and operators to help place the materials.

➡️ Utility Infrastructure & Drinking Water
• Drinking Water is Safe: Our city’s drinking water system remains 100% safe and fully operational. There is NO boil order for drinking water.
• Protecting Essential Lines: Crews are actively reinforcing a 30-inch utility line and lower-level force mains at risk from shifting water channels. Bypass infrastructure is already being worked on in the event it is needed.

➡️ Hazel Dell Parkway Bridge
• Status: The Hazel Dell Parkway bridge has suffered catastrophic structural failure and is considered a total loss.
• Fast-Tracking Repairs: While the roadway is maintained by the City of Carmel, the bridge is a Hamilton County asset. City and County leaders are using emergency state provisions to fast-track design and reconstruction contracts as quickly as possible.

Please continue to avoid the immediate 106th & Hazel Dell area to allow emergency and construction vehicles space to work safely. We will provide further updates as work progresses.

Noon at Broad Ripple, IN. Storm sewers continue to pour out water being forced from the river. Water is beginning to overspill into the canal. @bam_weather @SeanAshWX @WeatherNation

@Dropthegreen7 @ryanhallyall @bam_weather @WTHRcom @SeanAshWX @WeatherNation Cornell Avenue right off the Monon. Close to E. Coil Street.

@FullRutt @ryanhallyall @bam_weather @WTHRcom @SeanAshWX @WeatherNation Yes, you are correct, it is the stormwater drain. I mislabeled in haste. The stormwater drains are having water forced out of them in Broad Ripple North of 62nd due to the White River rising and forcing water.

@StoryfulNews Yes, I filmed everything I posted. Yes, you can use.

The White River has now slowly made its way into Broad Ripple Park. Only a small corner for now..@angelaganote @bam_weather @SeanAshWX

Water is rising rapidly at intersection of Guilford and Westfield! Businesses are beginning to take on water. @SeanAshWX @bam_weather @WeatherNation @ryanhallyall

[BA @volleyballben]

@SuprCityIndyFan @FlatwaterRipple They are pumping water as they can and have sandbagged the front. Water is beginning to spill into the canal at the lowest point so hopefully relieves some of the water.
