The partial cloverleaf at the U.S. 40 interchange is being replaced with a diamond interchange with single-lane roundabouts. The existing loop ramps are being removed. Similar improvements are being made at the U.S. 35 interchange. Both interchanges are expected to be open in final configuration in 2027.

Construction Speed Limit
The construction zone speed limit remains 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
in work zones.
