(La Porte County, IN) - Work on U.S. 20 will move on down the road this week. INDOT says there will be alternating lane closures between Fail Rd. and State Road 39 beginning Tuesday, September 2.

Eastbound lanes will be converted to two-way traffic and westbound lanes will be closed. No left turns will be allowed through the work zone, and C.R. 125 W and Range Rd. will not have access to U.S. 20 from the north side.

In a couple of weeks, the left inside lanes will be closed in each direction. Traffic will utilize the right outside lanes. C.R. 125 W and Range Rd. traffic will not be able to cross U.S. 20 but will have right in, right out access.

Then, in October, traffic will be moved to the westbound lanes, and C.R. 125 W and Range Rd. will not have access to U.S. 20 from the south side.

Each traffic configuration will be in place for seven to ten days, INDOT says. It’s a similar process to what has been happening in the Rolling Prairie area over the past month.

According to INDOT, pipe replacement work will be taking place in six locations, along with lane reconstruction.
