In the Town of Porter, Carlson Corners is now closed around the clock through approximately Oct. 3 for stormwater project, according to the Town of Chesterton Facebook page.
After a on-site inspection Thursday, the contractor for a stormwater project on Carlson Corners has determined that the road will need to be closed to through-traffic 24/7, in order to stage materials adequately and shorten the project’s timeline.
As part of the project, sewer pipe is being installed on the south side of Carlson Corners from Mineral Springs Road to Peterson Ditch on Pearson Road.
The three residents who live on Carlson Corners proper will have access to their homes.
But Carlson Corners will remain closed to through traffic for the duration.
The Town of Chesterton said on their Facebook, “NOTE: The ROAD CLOSED signage means closed: Please do not drive around the barricades at the intersection of Mineral Springs Road and Marquette Road; and that of Port Cove Drive and Pearson Road.”
The detour will follow 1100N to 23rd Street to Marquette Road.
