Lake County, IN – Drivers in Lake County should prepare for lane closures and traffic delays as resurfacing work begins Monday on U.S. 20 between Michigan Street and U.S. 12/Columbus Drive in East Chicago.
According to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), the project will start August 18 and is expected to continue through early October. Milling and paving will be done in three stages: right outside lanes, left inside lanes, and intersection approaches.
Temporary intersection closures will occur as needed, and motorists are urged to seek alternate routes. INDOT advises that changing traffic patterns may cause delays during peak travel times throughout the project.
The resurfacing is part of INDOT’s ongoing infrastructure maintenance efforts, aimed at improving safety and extending the life of local roadways.
Motorists traveling through the affected section of U.S. 20 should plan extra travel time, use caution in work zones, and remain alert for workers and equipment.
