(La Porte County, IN) - A stretch of U.S. 30 in La Porte County will be partially closed beginning Wednesday, with the eastbound lanes between U.S. 421 and 900 W to be closed for a three-to-five day period.

Indiana Department of Transportation officials note the closure is for repairs following permitted work near the intersection of U.S. 30 and U.S. 421.

Eastbound traffic on U.S. 30 heading toward U.S. 421 will be split into a left turn lane and right turn lane so motorists should approach the signal with caution and follow traffic directions carefully.

According to INDOT, the westbound lanes of U.S. 30 will be closed in the same area for repairs at some point after the eastbound lanes have reopened.
