LA PORTE COUNTY, Ind. - Indiana Department of Transportation will continue work on auxiliary two-way left turn lane construction on U.S. 20 between I-94 and State Road 2 with several upcoming traffic switches.

Traffic will switch to the outside lanes in each direction between C.R. 250 E and C.R. 500 E on or after Friday, May 29. Work will be conducted in the inside lanes and center turn lane/median area for approximately two weeks.

Traffic will also switch to the outside lanes so that work can occur in the inside lanes and median between U.S. 35 and C.R. 400 W on or after Thursday, June 4. This work is scheduled for approximately 10 days.

Work is scheduled to begin on U.S. 20 between Fail Rd and C.R. 250 E on or after Monday, June 8. The westbound lanes will close first for the installation of three pipes, and the eastbound lanes will be converted to two-way traffic. This work is scheduled for approximately two weeks, at which point traffic will then switch to the outside lanes in each direction for work in the middle.

There will be dedicated left turns lanes at county road intersections, but no left turns through the remainder of the work zone. This extensive project has encountered numerous utility conflicts and delays but continues to progress toward its end of November completion timeline.

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.
