Calumet Ave. in Valparaiso to close for railroad crossing repairs

Reith-Riley website

Calumet Avenue in Valparaiso will be closed next week for railroad crossing repairs. The city says Canadian National will repair and repave its crossing between Bush and Billings streets. The closure is scheduled to last from Monday to Friday. Drivers are asked to use Roosevelt Road as a detour.

Meanwhile, westbound U.S. 12 will be closed in the Portage area starting Monday. Drivers can use State Road 249 as a detour. The closure is expected to last two weeks, as crews replace NIPSCO poles for the South Shore Line's Double Track project.

State Road 8 is scheduled to be closed Monday through Wednesday between State Road 49 and U.S. 421 for seal coating operations. In Newton County, State Road 114 will be closed between 300 and 400 East for a culvert replacement. The closure is scheduled to last from Monday to late August.
