Valparaiso, IN – A key stretch of U.S. 6 in Porter County is back open today following a scheduled one-week closure for bridge maintenance work.
According to the Indiana Department of Transportation: Northwest, crews have completed a bridge deck overlay preventative maintenance project over the CSX Railroad. The closure impacted the portion of U.S. 6 between Mander Road and County Road 350 East.
The work was completed on time, and traffic is now flowing in both directions. The department noted that although the road is open, motorists may still encounter brief flagging operations as crews address any remaining punch list items.
All INDOT projects undergo thorough inspection before they are deemed fully complete. Officials encourage drivers to remain cautious in the area should crews be present over the next few days.
This repair is part of INDOT’s broader effort to extend the lifespan of key roadway infrastructure across Northwest Indiana.
