(La Porte County, IN) - The Indiana Department of Transportation has announced upcoming lane closures for U.S. 20 in Rolling Prairie. According to INDOT officials, the lane closure will occur between Byron Rd/C.R. N 400 W and Prairie St/C.R. N 450 E beginning July 19.
The U.S. 20 bridge over Norfolk Southern Railroad tracks will be reduced to one lane in each direction for a bridge deck overlay project through late August, officials said. Lane closures will alternate so motorists should be prepared for changing traffic patterns in the area. A bridge deck overlay is a protective treatment done to extend the life of a bridge deck, INDOT officials said.
INDOT urges drivers to stay alert near crews and follow traffic directions carefully. Motorists are also encouraged to allow extra time when driving through this area and should slow down and drive distraction-free through all work zones.
