LAPORTE COUNTY, Ind. -- The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announced lane closures on I-94 between U.S. 421 and the Michigan State Line on or after Tuesday, June 14. These closures are due to INDOT contractor Rieth-Riley Construction Co. commencing two pipeline projects.

The lane closures will be east of U.S. 421 and just west of the Indiana Welcome Center. The right outside lane and shoulder will be closed in both the eastbound and westbound directions. Two travel lanes will remain open in each direction.

This construction work is set to last through the end of June.

INDOT is also encouraging drivers to allow themselves extra time, drive cautiously through work zones and follow any posted detour routes.
