In La Porte County, the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) is advising Region motorists that overnight lane closures will continue on Interstate 94 between U.S. 421 and U.S. 20/35 through mid-April 2025. A news release says overnight lane closures that began March 31, 2025, will continue through about April 16 to set up phase one of construction work on I-94. Motorists should expect to encounter lane closures during the hours of 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Once phase one is set up, there will be two lanes of traffic shifted to the left with the work zone on the right in each direction.
Construction this year will include concrete patching along this stretch of I-94 and a bridge deck overlay on I-94 over Norris Ditch just west of County Road 400 North, and during this work, I-94 will be reduced to two lanes in each direction. In addition, patching and overlay work will be ongoing through mid-December 2025. INDOT says a full bridge deck replacement on Bleck Road over I-94 is planned in 2026, which will also include restrictions on I-94.
INDOT encourages drivers to consider safety for all by slowing down, using extra caution and driving distraction-free when travelling in and around all work zones.
