Kercher Road is currently closed to the public from the Marion railroad tracks to Weymouth Boulevard, but has been open from either end for local traffic. Beginning today, Sept. 17, the west end , at the railroad tracks, will be completely closed to all traffic to permit the installation of the water main improvements and to allow the railroad signal work to occur. The west end closure to local traffic is anticipated to extend through the week of Oct. 1.
Residents and NIPSCO employees will need to use the east end of Kercher Road to enter and exit the work zone.
