PORTER COUNTY, Ind. -- The Superintendent of Indiana Dunes National Park will temporarily close the Portage Lakefront location for a project. 

Portage Lakefront and the Riverwalk sites will be closed on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. beginning Monday.

The closure serves as a safety precaution for visitors while large trucks deliver and install boulders needed to shore up the accessible ramp west of the pavilion.

Besides the ramp under construction, the area will still be open from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. on weekdays with an unaffected schedule on the weekend.

Work for this project is estimated to last three weeks and is expected to be completed before Memorial Day weekend.
