Construction to begin on I-70 from Indianapolis to the Ohio State Line

Construction is scheduled to begin later this week on Interstate 70 in both directions.

Contractors will be full depth patching on both eastbound and westbound I-70 from Mount Comfort Road to the Ohio State Line.

Lane closures will begin on Friday, Sept. 6. Crews will be working seven days a week. Lane restrictions will be in 10-mile increments at a time, starting at Mt. Comfort Road in the eastbound lanes. One lane will be open in each direction of I-70 at all times during construction.

Lane restrictions will last through November.

INDOT would like to remind drivers to slow down and pay attention in work zones. Drive distraction free and watch out for crews on the side of the road.
