The media and public are invited to the grand re-opening of Melbourne Avenue in Logansport, Indiana, after two years of being closed off to traffic for stormwater and wastewater improvements.
After receiving a road level facelift and new underground piping, the road alongside the Wabash River will be completely opened for vehicular traffic. Two 10-foot diameter pipes were installed under the roadway along Melbourne from Eel River Avenue east to 5th Street, as part of Logansport Municipal Utilities’ long-term control plan. New federal and state regulations require less overflow from the combined wastewater and stormwater system into the Eel and Wabash rivers. The project also includes a new pump station, built at 1st Street and Melbourne Avenue. The work was led by Indianapolis-based Wilhelm Construction.
The media and public are invited to attend the ribbon cutting / grand opening, which will include
a brief statement from Logansport Mayor Chris Martin and photo/video opportunities of the
revamped road with a little “mini parade” of vehicles. The celebration will be held December 15,
2021 on Melbourne Avenue, behind The Depot (4th Street) at 11:00am.
