Heading south from LaPorte anytime soon? Highways 39, 35 and 6 all have closures

The following is from the What's New LaPorte? community homepage.

That old saying “You can’t get there from here” might pop into the minds of motorists trying to head south from LaPorte in the next few weeks. Grab your GPS or your atlas, or be prepared to follow your nose, if you plan to use 35, 39 or 6. According to the Indiana Department of Transportation:

– Starting Monday, Sept. 9, all lanes of Ind. 39 will be blocked about 10 miles south of LaPorte, between County Road 800 South and U.S. 6, for two weeks. Two railroad crossings are being repaired.
– The U.S. 6 bridge near Kingsford Heights remains closed for reconstruction until at least late September.
– And a bridge on U.S. 35 just north of Knox has the highway closed in that area until around Nov. 29.

So if you’re heading south, maybe you want to go to Westville and take U.S. 421. Just an option.
