ELKHART — The Indiana Department of Transportation recently announced the upcoming closure of US 6 for railroad crossing construction.

Starting on or after July 29, Safety Services and Supply, Inc. will be working on the crossing between SR 15 and CR 23. Construction is expected to last for one week. All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.

During the closure, drivers should use the approved detour of SR 15 and US 33, or seek an alternate route.

INDOT encourages drivers to consider safety for all by slowing down, using extra caution and driving distraction-free when traveling in and around all work zones.
