(Richmond, IN)--INDOT has made a major change for the closure of the east and westbound exit ramps from I-70 to U.S. 40.  Just two weeks ago, INDOT announced that it would close both exit ramps simultaneously and for two months.  That closure would have effectively taken away all interstate traffic from east-side Richmond restaurants, gas stations, and hotels for 60 days.  But that is no longer the plan.  INDOT announced Monday that only the westbound ramp onto U.S. 40 will close next week and remain closed for two months.  The two-month closure for the eastbound exit onto 40 is now not going to happen until next year.  INDOT is installing what they describe as a roundabout at that interchange.
