(La Porte County, IN) - Expect lane closures on a stretch of Indiana 2 near Rolling Prairie in the coming days.

According to the Indiana Department of Transportation, the lane closures will occur between county roads 600 E and 700 E/Cougar Rd. beginning on or after Tuesday, June 3. 

That means one lane travel in each direction for about a week to allow for pipe and inlet replacement.  The lane closures will alternate while the work is in progress, INDOT said.

INDOT encourages drivers to allow extra time when driving through this area and follow traffic directions carefully.  Motorists should slow down, exercise caution and drive distraction-free through all work zones.
