State Road 49 to have lane closures in Chesterton
PORTER COUNTY, Ind. - Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Dunnet Bay Construction Company will have lane closures on State Road 49 between C.R. 1100 N and Porter Ave beginning on or after Monday, April 1.
Motorists should expect alternating lane closures through late October for a bridge superstructure replacement over Coffee Creek. During phase one, the inside passing lanes will be closed for work, and the outside driving lanes will be open for traffic. Traffic will switch to the inside passing lanes in phase two around mid-July, with the outside driving lanes closed.
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.
