Porter County, IN – Starting Monday, August 26, U.S. 6 will be closed between Mander Road and C.R. 350 E in Porter County for critical infrastructure improvements. The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announced that the closure is necessary for the replacement of two consecutive small structures. The work is expected to continue through late December, significantly impacting local traffic.
According to INDOT, motorists are advised to plan for detours that will reroute traffic via State Road 49 and State Road 2. The closure will affect daily commuters and regional travelers, with potential delays and increased travel times expected. INDOT recommends using alternate routes and allows extra time for travel in the affected area.
This extended closure is part of a broader initiative to maintain and improve Indiana’s roadway infrastructure. The repairs are designed to enhance safety and reliability for drivers once completed. Residents and travelers are encouraged to stay informed about further updates and changes in traffic patterns through the Indiana Department of Transportation’s official channels.
