(La Porte County, IN) - A stretch of state highway in La Porte County will be closed beginning later this month.

According to the Indiana Department of Transportation, contractor Dunnet Bay Construction Company will close Indiana 2 between 400 N near Westville and 575 E in Porter County on or after May 30.

That stretch of roadway will be closed through early August for a structure replacement at West Branch Crooked Creek. As a result, motorists should seek an alternate route.  

The official detour will follow State Road 49 and U.S. 6, per INDOT.
