(La Porte County, IN) - Expect traffic delays on U.S. 35 between La Porte and Michigan City starting this weekend.
The Indiana Department of Transportation says lane closures between SR 39 and U.S. 20 will be ongoing over the next month for patching and resurfacing operations.
In a statement, INDOT authorities explained the scope of the repairs. “Full and partial depth patching involves replacing to a farther depth than the resurfacing will,” they said. “Areas with structural issues are identified and the road is replaced down to the base for durable, long-term repairs. When the resurfacing is done, the area will still be resurfaced to ensure a smooth driving surface with the adjacent area.”
35 was previously closed for much of July between C.R. 400 W and Schultz Rd for a structure replacement.
According to INDOT, this phase of work will reduce 35 to one lane in stretches of a couple of miles or longer, with flaggers directing traffic. Motorists should expect significant traffic delays or consider seeking alternate routes, INDOT said. Patching and resurfacing will be ongoing through the end of October.
