LA PORTE COUNTY, Ind. - The Indiana Department of Transportation announced on Tuesday that contractor Milestone Contractors will have alternating lane closures on S.R. 4/Monroe Street, between S.R. 2/Lincolnway and Boyd Boulevard, starting on Sept. 3.

"Work will include patching and resurfacing, curb and gutter replacement where necessary, and ADA compliant sidewalk ramps," INDOT officials said. "The roadway will be reduced to one lane and flaggers will direct traffic in the area where work is occurring. Temporary closures for sidewalks and intersecting crossroads will also be necessary during ADA ramp reconstruction."

The project is expected to last through late November.

"INDOT encourages drivers to allow extra time when driving through this area and follow traffic directions carefully," officials said. "Motorists should slow down, exercise caution and drive distraction-free through all work zones."
