In Lake County, the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) says Interstate 65 bridge work 65 from Interstate 80/94 to Ridge Road is moving to phase four southbound, and the new traffic configuration will be in place through mid-August 2025. During this phase of construction, the ramps from I-94 eastbound and I-65 southbound to Ridge Road will be closed, a news release said. The detour will be to use I-94 and State Road 53/Broadway to access Ridge Road. The ramp from I-94 westbound to I-65 southbound remains closed through late August. INDOT says motorists should be prepared for changing traffic patterns in the area while construction is occurring through mid-October. Bridge deck overlay preventative maintenance projects are being conducted in three locations on I-65: over 35th Avenue, over the ramp from I-65 to westbound I-94, and over the Chicago, Ft. Wayne & Eastern Railroad.
