(La Porte County, IN) - Alternating lane closures will be occurring soon on a stretch of U.S. 20 in the Rolling Prairie area.

 

According to the Indiana Department of Transportation, roughly one week of alternating lane closures will begin Monday to start converting the eastbound lanes to two way traffic between 250 East and Oak Knoll Road.

 

The purpose is to begin road reconstruction in the westbound lanes, INDOT said.  The work through the end of November will include the addition of center turn lanes and shoulders.

 

In late July, the same work on U.S. 20 is projected to start between Indiana 39 and Fail Road and from U.S. 35 and 400 West, INDOT said.

 

According to INDOT, left turns will be permitted only at county road intersections through the work zone.  Motorists should slow down, exercise caution and drive distraction-free through all work zones.
