(La Porte, IN) - Drivers are in for more a challenge in downtown La Porte next week.  The U.S 35 overpass will be closed beginning Monday.

According to the Indiana Department of Transportation, the overpass will be closed to allow NIPSCO to upgrade some overhead wires.  It’s estimated the overpass will be closed from Monday until 5 p.m. on Tuesday.

Motorists should plan for alternate routes of travel during that time period.
