Terre Haute, IN – Drivers in Terre Haute will face significant delays starting today due to construction on I-70 eastbound. The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) is diverting traffic to a temporary bridge in the median as crews work to replace the existing bridges. Construction will also close Sidenbender Road (25th Street) under I-70 for several weeks.
According to the Indiana Department of Transportation, the project begins today and will last until mid-November, weather permitting. The work includes replacing the existing bridges and adding a tunnel. Local traffic using Sidenbender Road should seek alternative routes as the closure is expected to cause significant congestion.
Motorists traveling on I-70 eastbound through Terre Haute should prepare for detours and slowdowns. INDOT encourages drivers to plan ahead and use caution in the work zone. The temporary changes are expected to remain in place until the project concludes.
