Heads up for drivers in western Wayne County—a major long-term closure is about to begin.

Starting Monday, January 5th, the Washington Road overpass bridge above I-70 will close for rehabilitation. The road will be shut down between Kepler Road and Moyer Road.

INDOT says this is part of the "Revive I-70" project. Crews will be replacing the bridge deck to extend its life, and the closure is expected to last all the way through the summer of 2026. A marked detour will take drivers around using Moyer, Jacksonburg, and Kepler roads.

This work also brings overnight restrictions starting the week of the 5th. You can expect lane closures on I-70 near the U.S. 40 interchange and ramp closures from I-70 to westbound U.S. 40 between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m. nightly.
