Schererville, IN – Drivers in the Plum Creek neighborhood should prepare for a temporary road closure Thursday morning as utility work is scheduled to impact a key residential route.
According to the Town of Schererville Public Works Department, Maple Place will be closed Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. between Cypress Drive and Woodhollow Drive. The closure is necessary to allow NIPSCO crews to complete electrical work in the area.
Officials said the work zone will be limited to that stretch of Maple Place, but local traffic is strongly encouraged to avoid the area during the closure window to prevent delays and ensure worker safety. Detours were not specifically outlined, but drivers are advised to use alternate neighborhood roadways where possible.
The project is part of ongoing infrastructure and utility maintenance efforts in the town. While the closure is expected to last only two hours, officials noted that all road work remains weather dependent and could be adjusted if conditions change.
Residents living within the closure area may experience limited access during the work period. Motorists traveling through Schererville during the morning commute are urged to plan ahead and allow extra travel time.
Public Works Director Chad Nondorf emphasized the importance of cooperation from the public, noting that short-term inconveniences help support long-term reliability of essential services like electricity.
Drivers are reminded to use caution near work zones, watch for crews and equipment, and follow any posted signage during the closure.
