Schererville, IN – Drivers in Lake County should expect traffic delays this week as Main Street closes for two days due to a NIPSCO electrical project.
According to the Town of Schererville Public Works Department, Main Street will be closed Wednesday, February 4, and Thursday, February 5, 2026, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The closure runs from U.S. Highway 41 to Calumet Avenue, impacting east-west travel through the heart of town.
Crews with NIPSCO Electric will perform system upgrades in the area during the closure. The town advises all motorists to plan ahead and use alternate routes to avoid the work zone. Access for local traffic will be limited, and all work remains weather-dependent, officials said.
A detour plan has been provided by the town to help residents navigate around the closure area. Drivers are encouraged to review the plan before traveling to minimize delays.
