PORTER AND LA PORTE COUNTIES, Ind. – Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Milestone Contractors LP will conduct overnight lane closures on I-94 westbound between mile marker 30 and 36 (east and west of U.S. 421) beginning on or after Tuesday, May 5 to set up a new traffic configuration.
Alternating lane closures will occur on I-94 during the hours of 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Motorists should be prepared for changing traffic layouts during this time. This work is weather dependent and may be rescheduled.
Starting on or after the morning of May 6, the left two lanes of westbound I-94 will be closed for resurfacing with two travel lanes shifted to the right. The ramps at exit 34 for U.S. 421 will remain open. This traffic configuration will be in place for approximately two weeks.
I-94 will maintain two travel lanes in each direction during construction, with lane shifts to accommodate the location of the work zone. Additional overnight lane closures will be used as needed to reconfigure the work zone setup or for other construction tasks.
