Motorists traveling between Knox and LaCrosse on State Road 8 will need to find another route for the next couple months.
Starting today, INDOT is closing the highway between LaPorte County roads 875 and 600 West so crews can restore the bridge over Pitner Ditch. State officials advise the road will be closed through early August.
State road detours must be along state-maintained roadways. INDOT’s marked detour uses U.S. 421, State Road 10 and State Road 39 to get around the closure.
