I-70 lane restrictions in Vigo County begin Sept. 11

TERRE HAUTE – The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) has announced that Interstate 70 will be restricted to one lane in each direction just east of U.S. 41 on the bridges over Canal Road beginning on or after Tuesday, Sept. 11.

The contractor plans to work around the clock to ensure the thin deck overlays are completed by Sept. 27.

White Construction Co. was awarded the contract for $7.1 million. The project includes patching and resurfacing U.S. 41 from just south of I-70 through Terre Haute to State Road 63 on the north end.

Thin deck overlays will be placed on the U.S. 41 bridge over Tippecanoe Street and CSX Railroad and on the I-70 bridges over Erie Canal Road.

The contractor continues to work on the curb ramps along U.S. 41. Drivers are advised to watch for lane restrictions and workers during this time.

Thin deck overlay work on U.S. 41 bridges will be completed during the overnight hours as well.

This project is scheduled for completion at the end of June of next year.
