INDOT announces ramp closures and overnight lane clousures at I-94 and US 421
INDOT LA PORTE COUNTY. Ind. -- The Indiana Department of Transportation will have ramp closures and overnight lane closures at I-94 and US 421 starting on or after Wednesday. In the current work zone between mile-marker 29-34, westbound traffic has returned to the westbound side after being in counterflow lanes on the eastbound side. I-94 maintains at least two lanes in each direction, with travel lanes tapering off to this area in both directions. Wednesday, 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. Thursday: Thursday, 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. Friday: Friday - Sept. 28 - closed Friday around 9 p.m. and reopen by Sept. 28 at 5 a.m.: In conjunction with these ramp closures, overnight lane closures will occur on I-94 at the U.S. 421 interchange. I-94 is currently reduced to two outside lanes in each direction through the interchange. Traffic will be further reduced to one lane during the overnight hours of 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. The weigh scales on eastbound I-94 will remain accessible while this work continues through the end of September. INDOT encourages drivers to allow extra time when traveling through this area and follow traffic directions carefully.
The ramp closure schedule is weather dependent and subject to change but is currently as follows:
The right lane of northbound US. 421 will also be closed through the I-94 interchange for approximately two weeks starting on or after Tuesday. The I-94 ramps will remain accessible aside from scheduled weekend closures.
The eastbound work zone is currently extended three miles west to S.R. 49. Eastbound I-94 is reduced to two lanes, with the right lane and shoulder closed and then the left lane and shoulder closed before connecting with the other work zone near mile-marker 29.
This construction will be conducted over a two-year period and includes five projects.
