FORT WAYNE, Ind. (ADAMS) – Starting Monday, January 16, 2023, East Superior Street, between Lafayette and Clinton Street, will have lane restrictions for the construction of a consolidation sewer and stormwater sewer.
City Utilities says that beginning at 7:30 am Monday:
One westbound lane will be open in the block between Lafayette and Barr Street.
Between Barr and Clinton, one travel lane will be open in each direction.
The intersection at Superior and Barr will remain open.
NIPSCO will be removing abandoned gas mains to make room for a consolidation sewer pipe that will transport combined sewage to the deep rock tunnel. The NIPSCO work will take about three to four weeks before sewer construction begins.
When complete, the line will keep just over 12 million gallons of sewage out of the St. Marys River, according to City Utilities. The construction of a separate stormwater pipe is also part of this project.
The restrictions will remain in place through early May.
