US Highway 421 Westville closed for 6 months at US 6
Campus members,
Road construction has begun and will affect travel to and from the Westville campus as a roundabout project is completed at the intersection of US 6 and Ind. US 421.
The construction will last through late September, according to INDOT, and the intersection will remain closed during that 6 month period. Motorists should seek alternate routes.
The official detour will follow State Road 39, U.S. 30, State Road 49 and State Road 2. This detour may or may not work for you, and I would encourage you to plan your travel carefully to the Westville campus.
