Hendricks County, Indiana – A right lane of Interstate 70 eastbound in Hendricks County will close Friday morning for pavement repairs, potentially slowing traffic through Plainfield.
According to INDOT West Central, the closure will begin on or after 9 a.m. Friday and continue through the day as crews address a pavement deficiency along the eastbound lanes.
Transportation officials said the work is weather-permitting and is expected to last through the day. Drivers traveling toward Indianapolis through the Plainfield area should expect single-lane restrictions and use caution while maintenance crews are present.
A map released by INDOT shows the affected stretch running eastbound between the Indiana 39 area near Plainfield and toward the Mooresville corridor. Motorists may encounter reduced speeds and intermittent congestion, particularly during midday travel periods.
INDOT advises drivers to slow down, allow extra travel time, and remain alert for workers and equipment in the work zone.
The temporary restriction may affect commuters and student drivers traveling east toward Indianapolis during late morning and afternoon hours.
Additional updates are available through INDOT West Central.
