CONCRETE BARRIER WILL SEPARATE LANES OF I-70

(Wayne County, IN)--Here’s more on the plan to widen I-70 to three lanes through nearly all of Wayne County.  INDOT now says that, during the construction process, two lanes of traffic will remain open through peak travel times.  There will likely be closures of some interchanges with the ramps Highways 35 and 40 facing major modification.  Those ramps no longer meet current safety standards.  There will also be permanent barriers placed between the east and westbound lanes to prevent crossover crashes.  A public meeting on the project is set for Monday.
