La Porte, IN – Drivers traveling through northwest Indiana should prepare for overnight lane closures and changing traffic patterns along I-94 in La Porte County starting this week.
According to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), overnight lane closures will be in effect on I-94 between U.S. 421 and U.S. 20/35 from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. for approximately three weeks, beginning on or after Monday, August 11. These closures are necessary to allow concrete patching work to be completed safely. Nightly left lane closures will be used to facilitate the ongoing repairs.
During this phase of construction, I-94 is already reduced to two lanes through the work zone, and the middle lane is closed around the clock. Overnight, only the right lane in each direction will be open, with traffic shifted to the right, causing further restrictions and possible delays. INDOT is advising motorists to be alert for changing traffic patterns and be prepared for possible overnight delays as crews complete this work.
Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and consider alternate routes where possible. For real-time traffic updates, travelers can visit INDOT’s official website or follow @INDOTNorthwest on social media.
