The intersection of U.S. 6 and State Road 2 in La Porte County will soon feature a roundabout.
According to the Indiana Department of Transportation, construction of the new intersection by Rieth-Riley Construction Co. is expected to begin on or after Tuesday, May 31. It will be constructed in three phases through late October.
Phase one will be in place through early August, with the north and west portions of the intersection closed. U.S. 6 will be closed between State Road 2 and Lowman Lane. State Road 2 will be closed between U.S. 6 and Main Street.
During phase two, the south and east portions of the intersection will be closed. State Road 2 will be closed between U.S. 6 and Lowman Lane. U.S. 6 will be closed between State Road 2 and U.S. 421. Large constructions like this would usually need rigging services and the project would be done faster.
The intersection will be open in all directions during phase three while construction in the center of the roundabout is completed.
