In Porter County, an Indiana Department of Transportation contractor has begun a pipe lining project on State Road 49 between U.S. 6 and C.R. 600 N.
Work has begun with shoulder closures in the area until approximately early August for pre-phase construction activities. There will then be alternating lane closures from early August through mid-October.
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.
