Valparaiso, IN – Drivers on U.S. 30 in Porter County should prepare for significant delays as rolling closures are scheduled to begin on Monday, August 19. These closures will occur between County Roads 450 East and 575 East, where construction is underway on a bridge replacement project. The closures will last for approximately three days during work hours from 5 a.m. to 6 p.m., with traffic slowed in both directions.
According to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), these temporary closures are necessary to move equipment across the road, shifting the project to the next phase. Motorists are urged to follow traffic directions carefully and anticipate potential delays during this period.
The ongoing construction has already reduced U.S. 30 to one lane in each direction through late October. INDOT advises travelers to plan ahead, considering alternate routes when possible, as traffic conditions may change frequently. Traffic is expected to switch later this month as work progresses. Local businesses and residents should remain informed on the latest updates to minimize disruptions.
