Improvements coming to I-70 ramp near Plainfield on May 18

Thursday, May 12, 2022

PLAINFIELD -- The State Road 267 exit ramp from eastbound Interstate 70 near Plainfield will close on Wednesday, May 18 in order for crews to construct a new ramp, the Indiana Department of Transportation has announced.

Also on Wednesday, May 18, there will be a nightly lane restriction on I-70 westbound near Plainfield from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. to allow crews to safely patch the concrete bridge from S.R. 267 to S.R. 39. This restriction will be in place until Monday, May 23. Indiana State Police will be on site for traffic control in the area.

This project was awarded to Milestone Contractors for $44.4 million. The project rebuilt the eastbound and westbound lanes of I-70 from a half-mile west of S.R. 267 to Ronald Reagan Parkway and patched the interstate from just west of S.R. 267 to S.R. 39.

The project is scheduled for completion in early summer of 2022.

The official detour follows I-70 eastbound to Ronald Reagan Parkway to U.S. 40 to S.R. 267 (Quaker Boulevard).

The closure is expected to last until June 30.
