A number of road projects may have motorists adjusting their routes in the coming weeks. In LaPorte County, U.S. 6 will be closed between U.S. 35 and State Road 39 starting Monday until mid-August. INDOT says one lane in each direction will remain open for local traffic only. Through traffic is asked to use U.S. 35, U.S. 30, and State Road 39 as a detour.
Starting Monday, U.S. 20 will be down to one lane in each direction at Cougar Road near New Prairie High School for a lane-widening project expected to last until early August.
In Valparaiso, INDOT is resurfacing the ramps at U.S. 30 and State Road 49. The ramps from 30 to northbound 49 are scheduled to close today and reopen tomorrow evening. Ramp closures are expected to continue through Tuesday, depending on weather.
