Schererville, IN – Drivers in Lake County should prepare for a full road closure on 87th Avenue between Cline Avenue and Lee Street this Monday, November 3, as crews perform drainage repairs along the stretch, according to the Lake County Highway Department.
The closure will be in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., weather permitting. Officials say detour routes will be clearly marked, with eastbound traffic directed north on Cline Avenue, east on 85th Avenue, then south on Lee Street to return to 87th Avenue. Westbound drivers will reverse that route.
According to the department, the project aims to improve local drainage and prevent future roadway flooding. Drivers are encouraged to slow down, remain distraction-free, and allow extra travel time while navigating the detours.
The Lake County Highway Department noted that every effort is being made to minimize inconvenience and ensure safety during the repair period.
For questions, residents can contact the Lake County Highway Department at (219) 663-0525 or visit schererville.org for detour maps and updates.
