Schererville, IN – Drivers in Schererville should plan for extended delays as lane restrictions begin Monday, January 20, on Kennedy Avenue for NIPSCO gas line replacement work.
According to the Town of Schererville, construction will affect Kennedy Avenue between Main Street and Junction Avenue daily from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. through April 17, 2026.
The lane closures are part of NIPSCO’s ongoing infrastructure upgrades, requiring one lane of traffic to remain closed during active work hours. Flaggers will be on site to manage alternating traffic flow, and motorists are advised to allow extra time for travel.
Officials urge drivers to use alternate routes whenever possible to avoid congestion in the work zone. The lane restrictions are expected to remain in place for nearly three months while NIPSCO and its contractors complete the project.
Traffic delays are anticipated throughout the duration of the work, particularly during morning and afternoon commute hours.
This project is part of NIPSCO’s larger regional effort to replace aging gas lines and improve service reliability across Lake County.
Residents can follow the Town of Schererville and local police department on social media for traffic updates and alerts during the construction period.
