Short-term flagging will be needed on adjacent local streets
Construction will soon begin on 80/94 FlexRoad. To prepare, limited tree clearing is needed along the corridor. Trees will be felled in March and picked up at a later date. Most of the work involves clearing shrubbery from the area. Shoulder closures on I-94 and closures on adjacent local roads will be needed through the end of March.
Starting on or after Monday, March 16, intermittent shoulder closures will be in place on I-80/94 from the I-65 interchange to the Illinois state line.
Additional closures will occur on local roads during this timeframe. Access for local traffic will be maintained, but flaggers will be in place on a short-term basis as trees are safely cleared. Minimal, short-term impacts are expected at the following locations:
Gary, Indiana
- Between Cline Avenue and Colfax Street
- Hamlin, Colfax, Stevenson and Fairbanks streets and Oakwood Drive
Hammond, Illinois
- Between Cline Avenue and Kennedy Avenue
- 177th Place, 176th Place and Parish Avenue
- Between Indianapolis Boulevard and Calumet Avenue
- Golfway Court, Northcote Avenue and 176th Place
- Between Calumet Avenue and Illinois state line
- Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison and Hohman Avenues
Work is anticipated 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. each weekday. All work is weather-dependent, and schedules are subject to change.
