Rolling slowdowns ahead on I-70 in Putnam County this week

Thursday, September 9, 2021

CLOVERDALE – Motorists are advised of rolling slowdowns occurring on eastbound Interstate 70, beginning Thursday, Sept. 9 and Friday, Sept. 10, weather permitting, the Indiana Department of Transportation has announced.

If not completed by then, the closures will occur on Monday, Sept. 13. They will take place between 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. each day at the 44.5-mile marker, which is located 3.5 miles east of the Cloverdale exit at U.S. 231.

The closures will allow the contractor to deliver stone and rip rap for headwall construction.

The contractor plans overnight left lane closures in this same location on Thursday, Sept. 9 for concrete pouring operations beginning after 9 p.m. until 6 a.m. on Friday.


Temple & Temple Excavating & Paving Inc. was awarded the $312,890 contract for the small structure replacement on I-70.

The project is scheduled for completion in mid-November.
