U.S. 30 to have lane closures east of Valparaiso
PORTER COUNTY, Ind. - Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Rieth Riley Construction will begin a bridge replacement project on U.S. 30 over Crooked Creek on or after Monday, April 1.
Motorists should be prepared for alternating lane closures and changing traffic patterns on U.S. 30 between C.R. 450 E and C.R. 575 E through late October. Work will start with the outside shoulders closed to strengthen the shoulders for future phases of the project. On or near April 11, the inside lanes will be closed to traffic. Work will switch to the outside lanes around early August.
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.
