Storm sewer work to snarl Maplecrest

FORT WAYNE – Both southbound through lanes on Maplecrest Road north of the entrance to the Northwood Plaza/Stellhorn Plaza shopping center will be closed.

The Fort Wayne Traffic Engineering Department announced Monday that the lane restriction north of Stellhorn Road will begin today and continue through Friday, weather permitting.

The restrictions will allow Robinson Trenching Inc., to repair a collapsed storm sewer that runs near the middle of the two southbound lanes, the announcement said.

Southbound through traffic will be moved into the southbound left-turn lane to get through the area.

Southbound left turns into Stellhorn Plaza will be prohibited on Wednesday and Thursday, the department said.

Drivers are encouraged to find alternate routes.
