I-70 westbound patching project is underway from Cloverdale to the Monrovia exit

The Indiana Department of Transportation announces a patching project is underway on I-70 westbound.

 

The contractor is currently strengthening the inside 4 ft. shoulder. This work is scheduled to last through this weekend, weather permitting. Then traffic will be shifted into the left lane while patching work occurs in the right lane.

 

The contractor will have a two and one half of one mile construction zone set up. The restrictions will be in place around the clock with the exception of Fridays between 6 a.m. until 9 p.m. The construction is scheduled to last through Wednesday, November 17.

 

The contract was awarded to Rieth-Riley Construction for $17 million. This project will deep patch the interstate in both directions from the 40 mile marker, one mile west of U.S. 231 (Exit 41) to the 58 mile marker, nearly one mile west of S.R. 39 (Exit 59). The eastbound lanes of I-70 and the area in Clay County will be under construction next year. The Clay County portion of  the I-70 patching will occur from approximately the 22.5 mile marker, one half of one mile west of S.R. 59 (Exit 23) to the 29 mile marker. The completion date is May 26, 2022.

 

INDOT reminds motorists to follow the posted work zone speed limit, use caution and consider worker safety when traveling through a construction zone.
