(Starke County, IN) - U.S. 421 south of La Crosse will be closed for a while on or after Monday, according to the Indiana Department of Transportation.

A bridge deck overlay project is set to begin over the Kankakee River and Payne Ditch. That's in the area between C.R. W 400 S and C.R. W 2400 S.

The official detour will take traffic along S.R. 39 between S.R. 10 and S.R. 8.

That closure is expected to last through mid-November, so look for alternate routes south of La Crosse for the next couple of months.
