ITRCC Announces Mile Marker 10 to Mile Marker 20 Anticipated Construction Schedule

ELKHART, Ind., August 7, 2024 (Newswire.com) - ITR Concession Co. LLC (ITRCC), the concessionaire and operator of the Indiana Toll Road, is announcing that construction work from mile marker 10 (Exit 10 Gary/Chicago International Airport) to mile marker 20 (just west of the Indiana Toll Road Lake Station Exit 21 Toll Plaza) will commence September 9, 2024, weather permitting.

The work will consist of eastbound (EB) and westbound (WB) mainline milling and paving operations, which will include intermittent and short-term lane and shoulder closures. This comprehensive project will also include the resurfacing of the Gary West Exit 14A interchange, which will necessitate its temporary closure.

To expedite the overall project schedule, the majority of the construction will occur Monday through Saturday during daytime operations.

Additionally, nighttime work will take place at the Gary East Exit 17 and Lake Station Exit 21 toll plazas anticipated to begin in August requiring intermittent toll lane closures; the plazas will remain operational during this time. In observance of the Labor Day holiday, all construction activities will be temporarily halted.
