(La Porte, IN) - A stretch of U.S. 35 in La Porte will be closed beginning on March 2.

According to the Indiana Department of Transportation, U.S. 35/Indiana Ave will be closed between Indiana 2/Lincolnway and Maple Ave.  The closure will last through early May for road reconstruction activities, including pavement replacement, storm sewer, water main, and sanitary sewer work.

This is a continuation of the U.S. 35/Indiana Ave pavement replacement and utilities project that began last year.  Additional closures on U.S. 35 will be ongoing through late November, according to INDOT.  

Motorists should seek alternate routes.  The official detour throughout these closures will follow State Road 2, State Road 39 and U.S. 6.
