U.S. 20 to have lane closures in Portage

PORTER COUNTY, Ind. - Indiana Department of Transportation contractor RAM Construction Services will have lane closures on U.S. 20 between Dombey Rd and Willowcreek Rd on or after Monday, September 23.

U.S. 20 will be reduced to one lane in each direction for approximately four weeks for a bridge deck overlay preventative maintenance project over CSX railroad. The eastbound lanes will be closed and westbound converted to two-way traffic during phase one. Traffic will switch to the eastbound side during phase two.

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
