Hammond, IN – A key traffic ramp in Lake County will temporarily close overnight as part of an urgent infrastructure project.
The eastbound I-94 ramp to northbound State Road 152/Indianapolis Boulevard will be closed beginning at approximately 8 p.m. Monday, June 16, and is scheduled to reopen by 5 a.m. Tuesday, June 17, according to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT).
The overnight closure will allow crews to perform bridge joint repairs on the ramp, which connects a heavily traveled corridor in northwest Indiana. The closure will impact drivers traveling through Hammond, Munster, and Highland, and motorists are encouraged to seek alternate routes during the construction window.
INDOT officials did not specify a detour but advised that delays could occur during the evening hours, particularly during the start of the closure. The department recommends drivers use caution near the work zone and allow extra travel time.
For continued updates on this and other local road projects, drivers can follow INDOT Northwest on social media or check the official INDOT traffic map.
