According to the Indiana Department of Transportation, Indiana 8 will be closed between 875 W and 600 W on or after Tuesday, September 30th.  The two lane highway will be closed through mid-October for a bridge deck overlay project over Bessler Ditch, INDOT said.

 

Motorists should seek alternate routes.  The official detour will follow U.S. 421, U.S. 30 and State Road 39.  

 

According to INDOT, Indiana 8 in Porter County is currently closed between 300 East and 450 East for a bridge deck overlay project over Crooked Creek.  That portion of the highway will reopen before the closure in La Porte County begins, INDOT said.
