I-70 work in Hendricks County wrapping up for season

PLAINFIELD – Interstate 70 eastbound lanes are scheduled to reopen this week, the Indiana Department of Transportation has announced. During this time the State Road 267 on ramp to I-70 eastbound will open.

Once the traffic switch has occurred the contractor will remove the temporary lane markings within the area eastbound traffic was utilizing and remove the concrete barrier wall. This work is anticipated to last through Sunday, Dec. 12.

Milestone Contractors was awarded the $43.9 million project that rebuilt the eastbound and westbound lanes of I-70 from a half-mile west of State Road 267 to Ronald Reagan Parkway and patched the interstate from just west of SR 267 to the Monrovia exit at SR 39.

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

INDOT encourages drivers to slow down, exercise caution and drive distraction-free through all work zones.
