St. John, IN – Drivers in northwest Indiana should plan for detours next week as a key section of W. 109th Avenue closes for utility work.
According to the St. John Police Department, W. 109th Ave. west of US 41 (Wicker Ave.) will be closed to all traffic from Monday, November 10, through Friday, November 14, to allow crews to install new watermain casing beneath the roadway.
A detour route via 93rd Avenue will be posted to help drivers navigate around the closure. Local access may be limited during the construction period, and motorists are encouraged to allow extra time for commutes, especially during morning and evening rush hours.
The closure is expected to last through the end of the workweek, weather permitting. Police remind drivers to follow all posted signage and detour routes for safety.
Residents and commuters traveling between St. John, Schererville, and surrounding Lake County areas may experience heavier traffic on alternate roads during the project.
