Community Projects

Starting the week of February 12, NIPSCO will began work in the Town of Winfield to upgrade and expand its existing electrical system by installing approximately 165 utility poles, 10 miles of electrical wire and a new electrical substation. This work is part of the company’s overall infrastructure modernization plan to upgrade and enhance its existing system to provide communities with a continued, safe and reliable source of energy for the future. As a result of this work customers will experience less electrical service interruptions, less future maintenance work on the system and an opportunity for economic expansion in the area.

​

Safety is a top priority at NIPSCO, and for crews to perform this work safely lane and road closures are expected. Most construction work will take place on E 117th Avenue and Randolph Street with additional installations along 109th (east of Randolph), Decatur Street, State Street and Benton Street. Please drive with caution around any construction, follow the directions of onsite crew members and posted traffic signs, also follow appropriate posted detour route instructions. This project is expected to last through the end of this year.
