LA PORTE COUNTY, Ind. -- The Indiana Department of Transportation announced overnight lane closures on I-94 between US 421 and US 20/35 will begin on or after Thursday.

INDOT says the lane closures will take place between the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m.

I-94 is currently reduced to two lanes through the work zone.

Officials say eastbound lanes will be closed overnight on Thursday and Friday, while westbound lanes will be closed overnight on Aug. 7 and 8.

INDOT says this overnight work is to move traffic into the next phase, with traffic being split with one lane on either side of the work zone in each direction through the end of September.

Schedules are weather dependent.

Patching and bridge overlay work will also be ongoing through mid-December on this stretch of I-94.
