Eastbound U.S. 12 to close under State Road 249
PORTER COUNTY, Ind. - Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Superior Construction Co Inc will close eastbound U.S. 12 under State Road 249 beginning on or after Monday, May 6.
U.S. 12 eastbound will be closed for approximately two weeks for structural steel installation overhead on State Road 249. Traffic going eastbound on U.S. 12 will be diverted to southbound State Road 249 and can use the official detour of U.S. 20 and State Road 149. Traffic will have access to eastbound U.S. 12 from northbound State Road 249.
This section of U.S. 12 was recently closed for an unrelated urgent repair. Due to the project timeline for State Road 249, this steel installation could not be done during that closure.
