Lake County, IN – Drivers in northwest Indiana should prepare for significant lane closures and delays starting Monday, August 25, as the Indiana Department of Transportation begins a resurfacing project on U.S. 41/State Road 152, also known as Indianapolis Boulevard.
According to INDOT, lane closures will take place between 175th Street and Ridge Road and are expected to last through the end of October. Crews will first close lanes for about five days to complete daytime center island work on both the north and south ends of the project area.
In addition to daytime restrictions, overnight lane closures are scheduled between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. on the same stretch of roadway to allow for milling operations. Officials said drivers should expect changing traffic patterns and potential delays, particularly during peak travel hours.
The project area runs between Hammond, Munster, and Highland, a high-traffic corridor connecting several communities with access to I-94. INDOT advises motorists to plan for extra travel time and consider alternate routes while work is underway.
The resurfacing project is part of a broader effort to improve road conditions in Lake County. INDOT said the work is designed to extend the life of the roadway and enhance safety for drivers.
Traffic updates will be provided as construction progresses, and drivers can monitor INDOT’s social media channels or its website for the latest information.
