Rolling slowdown on I-70 set for early Tuesday morning

MONROVIA – A rolling slowdown is scheduled on Interstate 70 in both directions near the intersection of State Road 39 on Tuesday, Oct. 6 at 4 a.m.

The Indiana Department of Transportation has announced that the closure is anticipated to only last for 10 minutes so Milestone Contractors can move its crane.

Milestone Contractors LP was awarded the $16.2 million contract for the project that will redesign this interchange to a diverging diamond interchange.

The interchange modification project is being built to add traffic capacity and relieve congestion for the current and future needs as development expands in this area.

The Interstate 70-State Road 39 interchange is scheduled to open to traffic in the fall of 2021.
