In Valparaiso, the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) is advising Region motorists that bridge work at State Road 49 and State Road 2 that got underway earlier this week will be ongoing through the spring and summer. INDOT says State Road 49 and State Road 2 will both maintain two lanes of travel in each direction during daytime hours, but lanes will be narrowed to make room for the work area. State Road 49 and State Road 2 will have overnight lane closures during the hours of 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. as needed from late May to late July. Bridge repairs and bridge painting activities will be ongoing through late August. 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.
