Motorists traveling north on U.S. 421 through LaPorte County will need to find a new route for the next few months. The Indiana Department of Transportation is replacing the entire bridge deck over the Bailey Road railroad tracks in Wanatah, just south of U.S. 30.
Work on the project starts today and will wrap up in mid-June. Until then the marked detour route around the closure uses State Road 8 to State Road 39 to U.S. 30.
Drivers in Northwest Indiana can monitor road closures, road conditions, and traffic alerts at any time via the District’s social media channels, www.Facebook.com/INDOTNorthwest or Twitter @INDOTNorthwest or online at http://www.trafficwise.in.gov.
