Vigo County, IN – Drivers traveling through western Indiana should expect brief delays this morning as crews repair a damaged barrier wall along Interstate 70.
According to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) West Central, I-70 westbound from mile-markers 7 to 10 — from U.S. 41 to just west of S.R. 641 — will have a temporary lane closure while crews replace the wall hit in a recent crash.
INDOT officials said the repair work is anticipated to last less than an hour, though drivers should prepare for rolling slowdowns on the eastbound lanes as well.
The agency is urging motorists to use extra caution while traveling through the work zone and to watch for slowed or stopped traffic.
The closure is part of routine emergency maintenance to ensure safety following the earlier crash damage. Once repairs are complete, all lanes are expected to reopen without additional restrictions.
Drivers can monitor updates through INDOT’s TrafficWise app or the agency’s social media channels for real-time travel information.
