This INDOT photo shows the truck up against the bent overhead sign at the corner of the overpass and Lincolnway. INDOT shadowed the logos on the semi.
Update from the LaPorte INDOT office at about 2 p.m.: “Southbound traffic is flowing now, northbound likely soon. However, the signal will be converted to a four-way stop until at least Saturday afternoon while we work to replace that (sign) structure.”

From the LaPorte office of INDOT at about 1 p.m.: “Traffic is currently blocked both northbound and southbound on the U.S. 35 bridge at Ind. 2 in downtown LaPorte due to a truck taking out an overhead sign structure. Folks, the signs prohibiting trucks from making that turn from westbound Ind. 2 onto northbound U.S. 35 are there for a reason.” No word on when the overpass might reopen.
