Lake Station, IN – Overnight lane closures on I-94 in Lake County begin tonight, affecting drivers between U.S. 6/State Road 51 and the Indiana Toll Road. The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) says the closures will last through early Friday, October 24.
According to INDOT Northwest, the inside lanes of I-94 will be closed in each direction between Clay Street and the Indiana Toll Road from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. each night. The restrictions will allow crews to move and set up a crane in the median for upcoming bridge work.
Drivers are advised to use caution in the area, as workers and heavy equipment will be active during overnight hours. While no full closures are planned, reduced speeds and lane shifts are expected to cause minor delays for late-night travelers.
The construction is part of a larger bridge replacement project on U.S. 6/State Road 51 over I-94 in Lake Station. INDOT says the southbound bridge will be under construction through mid-December 2025, with northbound bridge work scheduled to begin in 2026.
Motorists are encouraged to plan alternate routes or allow extra travel time while work continues this week.
