(La Porte, IN) - A public meeting has been announced for consideration of a plan to construct a bypass around La Porte’s east side.

Proposed routes for a bypass surfaced several years ago at a public meeting.  Updated plans will be presented to the public again on Tuesday, April 13.  The goal of the project is to divert heavy traffic from Boyd Blvd. around the east side of La Porte and connecting to US 39 north of the downtown.

Under consideration are three routes north of SR2 and five routes south of 2 to US35. The website www.laportecorridor.com contains full details.

A presentation will be made on April 13 at the Civic Auditorium. The public meeting will run from 6:00 to 7:30 pm.
