LAKE COUNTY, Ind. - The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announces State Road 912 (Cline Avenue) is closed to all traffic effective immediately between U.S. 41 (Calumet Avenue) in Hammond and Michigan Avenue in East Chicago.

INDOT received the results of a detailed bridge inspection report performed by an INDOT consultant. In the interest of public safety INDOT has decided to close the bridge structure immediately to all traffic until INDOT staff and its consultants have further reviewed the report. INDOT anticipates an updated action plan by the end of day today.

INDOT is working with Indiana State Police, local officials and businesses to help minimize the impact of the closure. Traffic will be detoured via posted signs. Westbound Cline Ave. traffic will be directed to take U.S. 12 (Columbus Drive) west to U.S. 12/20 (Indianapolis Boulevard) west to Calumet Ave. south.
