I-70 WIDENING IN WAYNE COUNTY WILL MOSTLY ELIMINATE GRASSY MEDIANS

(Wayne County, IN)--INDOT is releasing more information on exactly how I-70 in Wayne County will be widened to three lanes in both directions.  INDOT is now indicating that the new lanes will be added to the inside – meaning where the grassy medians are now.  The construction will essentially eliminate those medians.  It has also identified the two interchanges that will be rebuilt.  One is the intersection of 70 and US 40 at the state line.  The other is the Williamsburg Pike – or US 35 – exit.  Both of those interchanges have dangerous elements that include limited merging areas.
