INDOT and contractor partner, Rieth-Riley, are accelerating planned construction on I-70 to allow work to be done before major events rescheduled due to the COVID-19 public health emergency resume. Full interstate closures are being used to ensure safety for workers, reduce the overall construction time, and maximize use of taxpayer dollars.<\/p>\n

In construction zones, please slow down and pay attention. During the full closures, be prepared to find alternate routes.<\/p>\n
