The park service says other beach areas will remain open during the paving project. Those beaches include Portage Lakefront, Porter, Kemil, Dunbar and Lakeview.

Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore stretches along 15 miles of the southern shore of Lake Michigan. It's currently open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. every day except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day.
