(La Porte County, IN) – The Indiana Department of Transportation has a number of construction projects in the Westville area.

 

Road work is continuing on various sections of SR 2 between Westville and Valparaiso.

 

Starting Monday, August 10, SR 2 will be reduced to one lane between C.R. 600 N and Old SR 2 for bridge deck work over CSX Railroad. Temporary signals will be installed to direct traffic, and the road will be reduced to one lane through late October.

SR 2 will fully close in that area on August 17 for a pipe replacement project. There will be no through access at that time. This closure will be in place through early September, and the detour will follow SR 49 and U.S. 6. 

INDOT says SR 2 remains reduced to one lane between C.R. 1100 W and C.R. 600 E through early September for bridge work at Forbes Ditch. Temporary traffic signals are installed to direct traffic.

 

Another project involves U.S. 421 south of Westville which will be closed for much of the upcoming week.

 

The closure will be between U.S. 6 and C.R. 700 S for repair to a rough railroad crossing. The work is scheduled to begin Monday, August 10 and last about six days. Local access will be maintained, but through traffic should seek alternate routes, INDOT says. The official detour will follow U.S. 6, SR 39, and U.S. 30.
