RAMPS AT I-70 / CHESTER BLVD. INTERCHANGE TO CLOSE FOR MONTHS

(Richmond, IN)--The Revive I-70 project to widen the interstate to three lanes through most of Wayne County will soon affect the Chester Boulevard interchange for an extended period of time.  INDOT announced Monday that, beginning in two weeks, the exit ramp from eastbound 70 onto Chester Boulevard will close until mid-June.  That will effectively cut access to Reid Health, IU East, and north-side businesses in half.  Also, the entrance ramp onto eastbound 70 from Chester Boulevard will close and not reopen until mid-August.  And that’s not all.  This week, drivers on eastbound 70 will shift into the westbound lanes between the Centerville and Cambridge City exits.
