Kentland, IN – Motorists traveling through Newton County should prepare for lane closures on U.S. 24 near Kentland, as daytime construction work is set to begin this week.
According to the Indiana Department of Transportation: Northwest, U.S. 24 will be reduced to one lane between County Road 150 West and County Road 50 East starting on or after Monday, July 28.

The targeted maintenance is designed to improve infrastructure reliability along this frequently traveled stretch of U.S. 24, which serves as a key route for residents and commercial vehicles in northwest Indiana.
Drivers are encouraged to allow for extra travel time or consider alternate routes if possible. Updates on the closure and construction progress will be provided as work continues.
