In Lake County, the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) says bridge work is getting underway on State Road 55 in Crown Point. INDOT says traffic restrictions will be on place on State Road 55/Main Street between 97th Place and Lewis Street beginning on or after Monday, August 4, 2025.
INDOT says State Road 55 will maintain two lanes in each direction, but the center turn lane will be closed and southbound traffic will be shifted to the left to make room for the work zone, and overnight lane closures will be utilized at the start of the project to deliver materials and equipment and at the end of the project to remove them.
Construction will be ongoing through mid-October for bridge work over Main Beaver Dam Ditch where the piles will be cleaned and epoxy coated and two debris walls and a diversion wall will be installed, a news release said.
INDOT encourages drivers to allow extra time when driving through this area and follow traffic directions carefully. Motorists should slow down, exercise caution and drive distraction-free through all work zones.
