Hobart, IN – Drivers in Hobart should expect delays today as city crews close 3rd Street for emergency water main repairs. The closure runs from Colorado Street to Wabash Street and will remain in place through the afternoon.
According to the Hobart City Government, Indiana American Water began emergency repair work at approximately 9:30 a.m. Wednesday to allow school traffic to clear before construction started. The project is expected to be completed by 3 p.m., though flaggers will remain on-site if repairs extend beyond that time.
Officials say the closure is necessary for NIPSCO crews to safely stabilize a utility pole located near the damaged water main. The work will occupy most of the roadway, requiring a full closure for the duration of repairs.
Drivers are advised to use alternate routes and allow extra travel time through the area.
City officials thanked residents for their patience, emphasizing that the emergency work is essential to maintain safety and water service reliability.
