- Joliet Street Multi-Use Path Project
Construction on this multi-use path project is underway. Due to material delivery delays, two significant storm events and utility-related delays this summer, the project timeline has been extended into early summer 2027. To avoid leaving unsafe open stone trenches through the winter, Dyer Construction will spend the next couple of weeks preparing the section between Hart St. and Parrish Ave. to safely reopen to traffic. A shorter detour will remain in place while work continues between Industrial Dr and Hart St. Work between Industrial Dr and Hart St will continue through the remainder of the construction season and is expected to be completed before the winter shutdown.
Project Progress
- Current completion: 18%
- Anticipated completion before winter shutdown: 30%
- Revised completion: Early summer 2027
This project will enhance safety for pedestrians and motorists, improve drainage, and provide a longer-lasting roadway. While the temporary closure may be inconvenient, these improvements will help reduce future maintenance needs and improve travel throughout the area for years to come. We appreciate your patience and understanding as these improvements are completed.

Construction continues to make steady progress on the project. Masonry and roofing work on the pavilion are underway, while steel installation for the canopy is nearing completion and will soon be ready for roofing. Underground utility work for the building is in progress, with interior rough-ins scheduled to begin in August. Steel erection for the amphitheater is also expected to start in August. Site rough grading is nearing completion, and crews are preparing to begin curb and asphalt installation in the coming weeks. - 2026 Town-Wide Paving
Milestone Contractors have completed the paving portion of the 2026 Community Crossings Matching Grant (CCMG) project.

The building pad has been brought up to grade and roadway work is now underway. Foundation and utility installation will begin as soon as weather conditions cooperate. They are also anticipating the start of masonry work in May, once the rain finally gives us a break!
White Oak & 109th Roundabout
Engineers are completing the design of the roundabout. NIPSCO’s engineers are currently preparing plans to relocate their overhead and underground utilities to make room for the expanded roadway. Road construction is expected to begin this summer pending the status of utility relocations and right-of-way acquisitions.
- 2026 Town-Wide Paving
The Town is pleased to announce it has been awarded Community Crossings Matching Grant (CCMG) funding through the State of Indiana. This award allowed us to expand our 2026 paving program, adding nine additional roadways to this year’s project list. The Town Council awarded a contract to Milestone Contractors as the lowest, most responsive and responsible bidder in the amount of $1,762,198.15 at their April 22nd meeting. A preconstruction meeting was held on April 29th and construction is planned to begin the week of May 11th. Work is expected to be complete before the beginning of next school year, weather dependent. The Town appreciates the opportunity to leverage state funding to maximize local investment and continue delivering infrastructure improvements for residents.
