Revive I-70 Shoulder Strengthening Begins

Shoulder strengthening work on the Revive I-70 corridor in Wayne County is expected to begin this week and last the next several weeks. The work is expected to begin overnight Tuesday, March 11. One lane of westbound I-70 is scheduled to close from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m., Tuesday through Thursday, between U.S. 27 and west of the U.S. 35 interchange.

A single-lane restriction on eastbound I-70 from Round Barn Road to just east of U.S. 27 is expected overnight Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (March 14 through March 16). The ramp from northbound U.S. 35 to eastbound I-70 and the ramp from eastbound I-70 to northbound U.S. 35 will also close during work in the area.

Crews will mill the existing shoulder and add new asphalt to strengthen the pavement to accommodate traffic during construction. Traffic will utilize part of the outside shoulder to maintain two lanes of traffic for most of the construction and give crews the necessary room to build new lanes of I-70. The additional travel lanes will be built using the existing inside shoulder.

The outside shoulder will be strengthened from west of U.S. 35 to the Ohio state line. The work from Round Barn Road to just east of U.S. 27 is expected to last about three weeks. Work will then shift to between U.S. 27 and the Ohio state line.

The remainder of the work will be completed during the overnight hours, and short-term single-lane restrictions will move with the location of work. Short-term ramp closures will also be needed.

Construction Speed Limit Now Active

The construction zone speed limit is now active on I-70. A reduced speed of 55 mph is in place for the duration of Revive I-70 work. Drivers should avoid distractions and observe the posted speed limit.

Anticipated schedules are subject to change based on weather and other factors.

About Revive I-70

Revive I-70 includes improvements to I-70 in Wayne County from west of Cambridge City to the Indiana/Ohio state line. The corridor is more than 20 miles long, and improvements are divided into three contracts for project delivery. The INDOT project is expected to reduce corridor congestion, improve traffic flow, and improve safety.
