Lafayette, IN – Lane closures on U.S. 52 (Sagamore Parkway) over the Wabash River will begin Tuesday, causing significant traffic disruptions. Commuters in West Lafayette and Lafayette should prepare for delays as construction crews start bridge maintenance and repairs.
According to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), the single-lane closures are necessary to perform essential work on the Sagamore Parkway bridge. This project is expected to last until mid-November, weather permitting. INDOT advises drivers to plan alternative routes or allow extra travel time to avoid the expected congestion.
The maintenance will improve safety and longevity of the bridge, a critical link between West Lafayette and Lafayette. Traffic updates and more information are available on INDOT’s official website, where travelers can stay informed about the project’s progress and potential detours.
Local businesses and residents near the Wabash River may experience increased traffic and delays during peak hours. INDOT emphasizes the importance of patience and cooperation from the public to ensure the project’s timely completion.
