In Crown Point, the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announces two road closures for bridge work, urging motorists to plan ahead due to work already occurring in the area. State Road 53/Broadway is scheduled to close between 101st Avenue and Summit Street on or after Monday, April 13, 2026, through the end of September 2026, for a bridge superstructure replacement project at Main Beaver Dam Ditch. A superstructure replacement includes replacing elements such as the deck and beams while retaining the existing substructure. The official detour will follow U.S. 30, I-65 and U.S. 231.
Also in Crown Point, INDOT says the 113th Avenue bridge over I-65 is set to close for several months starting on or after Monday, April 20, 2026. The bridge will be closed through the end of October 2026 for a bridge deck and partial superstructure replacement project. The bridge deck will be demolished and rebuilt, and the concrete beams will be replaced with steel at the ends, a news release said. I-65 will also have overnight lane closures to set up a work zone in this location and ongoing lane shifts to allow for access to the bridge from below.
U.S. 231 remains closed between Harrington Avenue and Chase Drive (west of State Road 55) for permitted work by the City of Crown Point, INDOT said. Cline Avenue is also closed north and south of the intersection of U.S. 231 for roundabout construction. INDOT says motorists can visit 511in.org to plan your route.
