In LaPorte County, the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) says construction will begin on a roundabout project at the intersection of U.S. 6 and State Road 2 in Westville on or after Tuesday, May 31. Work will take place in three phases, with that intersection partially closed during the first two phases. The project will be ongoing through late October. A news release said the intersection will be open in all directions during phase three while construction in the center of the roundabout is completed.

Phase one will be in place through early August, with the north and west portions of the intersection closed. U.S. 6 will be closed between State Road 2 and Lowman Lane, with an official detour following State Road 2 and State Road 49. State Road 2 will be closed between U.S. 6 and Main St, and the official detour will follow U.S. 421 and U.S. 6. The intersection will remain open to traffic between State Road 2 south of the intersection and U.S. 6 east of the intersection.
During phase two, the south and east portions of the intersection will be closed. State Road 2 will be closed between U.S. 6 and Lowman Ln, with a detour following State Road 49 and U.S. 6. U.S. 6 will be closed between State Road 2 and U.S. 421, and the detour will follow State Road 2 and U.S. 421. The intersection will remain open to traffic between State Road 2 north of the intersection and U.S. 6 west of the intersection during this phase.
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.
