Work continues on I-70 box culvert near Little Point

LITTLE POINT -- Work continues on a box culvert installation project under Interstate 70 in Putnam County, the Indiana Department of Transportation has announced.

Starting on or after Monday, March 13, crews will be conducting nighttime lane closures on I-70 eastbound and westbound, in order to shift traffic and install barrier walls.

The restrictions will be between County Road 1100 and U.S. 231. Traffic will be shifted to two, 11-foot lanes, both eastbound and westbound, separated by the barrier wall.

These restrictions will be between 9 p.m. and 9 a.m. The transition to the new traffic configuration is expected to take about a week, weather permitting.

This contract was awarded to Morphey Construction Inc. for $3.6 million. Contract completion date is in early July 2023.

INDOT reminds motorists to slow down, use caution and consider worker safety when traveling through a work zone.
