Shoulder strengthening work on the Revive I-70 corridor in Wayne County is continuing this week, along with other activities.
Here’s what to expect:
- Overnight Monday, March 17
- Patching work with short-term, mobile closures from U.S. 27 to west of U.S. 35
- Overnight Monday, March 17 through Saturday, March 22
- Single-lane closed on eastbound I-70 from Round Barn Road to Ohio state line
- Ramps from eastbound I-70 to and from northbound U.S. 35 closed
- Overnight Monday, March 17 through Friday, March 21
- Single-lane closed on westbound I-70 from U.S. 27 to west of U.S. 35 to install temporary barrier wall
- Ramp from U.S. 27 to westbound I-70 closed
- Ramps from westbound I-70 to U.S. 35 closed
Traffic Shifts
Two minor traffic shifts are expected this week to shift traffic closer to the outside shoulder to accommodate the start of construction.
- Overnight Tuesday, March 18
- Westbound I-70 traffic from U.S. 27 to west of U.S. 35 shifts
- Overnight Thursday, March 20
- Eastbound I-70 traffic from Round Barn Road to just east of U.S. 27 shifts
Shifting traffic to the outside allows crews more room to work and build the new, inside lanes of I-70. Lane and shoulder widths will be reduced within the work zone.
All overnight, weekday closures are scheduled from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. Anticipated schedules are subject to change based on weather and other factors.
Construction Speed Limit Now Active
The construction zone speed limit is now active on I-70. A reduced speed of 55 mph is in place for the duration of Revive I-70 work. It is important for drivers to slow down and avoid distractions.
