Highland, IN – Drivers in Highland should prepare for a full closure on Highway Avenue at Orchard Drive starting Sunday, October 27, according to the Highland Police Department. The closure will remain in effect through Thursday, October 31 while crews complete a gas main relocation project.
According to Public Works Director Knesek, the temporary closure is necessary as NIPSCO moves a gas line across Highway Avenue. Motorists are urged to plan ahead and seek alternate routes during the five-day project.
The work is expected to impact local traffic near Orchard Drive and nearby neighborhoods, particularly during morning and afternoon commute hours. Detour signs will be posted to guide drivers safely around the affected section.
Residents and commuters should allow extra travel time and stay alert for changing traffic patterns throughout the week. Updates will be shared by the Highland Police Department and Town of Highland on social media as work progresses.
