In Lake County near Lowell, the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) says bridge work on Interstate 65 between State Road 2 and State Road 10 will resume on or after Monday, March 17, 2025. INDOT says overnight lane closures will be in place 8 pm to 6 am for about ten days to set up the traffic configuration for phase three of the project. Three bridges are being replaced along this stretch of I-65, which began with northbound bridges in 2024. The southbound bridges will be replaced this year, with the project ongoing through this fall.
INDOT says the phase three traffic configuration will have northbound traffic shifted to the right. Southbound traffic will be split, with the left lane as a counterflow lane on the northbound side and the right lane shifted to the right outside shoulder. Bridge construction will take place in the southbound left shoulder and median during this phase. INDOT encourages drivers to allow extra time when driving through this area and follow traffic directions carefully, and urges motorists to slow down, exercise caution and drive distraction-free through all work zones.
