Update as of August 4, 2024:

The Cass County Highway Department has been informed that the next closure on Perrysburg Road associated with the NIPSCO project will begin on Tuesday, August 6, and continue through the end of the week. This closure is at the intersection of Perrysburg and Meadowview, and both roads will be closed to traffic. The suggested detour route utilizes county Road 300 E., County Road 200 N., and County Road 250 E./Davis Rd (fairgrounds road).

This closure is on Perrysburg between Meadowview Drive and Meadow Lane. Local traffic will be able to detour using Meadow Lane, Greenhills Drive, and Meadowview Drive. The road should re-open by the end of this week. Further closures will come at a later time.

Original post:

Construction work at the corner of Perrysburg Road and Meadowview Dr. in Logansport began in late June.

Elevate GIS shows that the parcel is owned by Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO).

We left a message with their media contact line to find out more about the project.

Here’s the info they provided:

“This project is part of NIPSCO’s long-term integrity management plan to modernize and enhance its natural gas system in northern Indiana. The company is building a new gas receiver site location that allows for inspection tools to be used inside the existing 16″ steel pipeline in the area. Once completed, this gas receiver site will connect to the company’s existing Royal Center Under Ground Storage Facilities. Construction on this project is expected to last through November 2024.”
