(La Porte, IN) - An intersection in La Porte will be temporarily closed soon.

According to the mayor’s office, the intersection of 3rd and F Streets will be closed next week to allow the city’s Water Department to make necessary infrastructure improvements at that location.

The upcoming work is part of the infrastructure plan that was proposed a couple of years ago to bring the city’s water and wastewater systems into the 21st century, officials said.

People are advised to seek alternative routes of travel until the intersection reopens to avoid any inconvenience.
