LAPORTE AND STARKE COUNTIES, Ind. -- Maintenance crews with the Indiana Department of Transportation have announced a seal coating project that will close U.S. 421 starting on Monday, July 15.

"U.S. 421 will be closed between S.R 8 and S.R. 10 west for approximately three days. The detour will follow S.R. 14, U.S. 35 and S.R. 8," INDOT officials said. "Through traffic should utilize the detour or seek an alternate route. Local access will be maintained so traffic should exercise caution and follow directions carefully in the area where work is occurring."

The project is weather dependent, and the schedule is subject to change.
