Terre Haute, IN – Drivers across Vigo County should prepare for overnight delays on Interstate 70 as a new round of lane closures continues this week and through December, according to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT).
According to INDOT, both eastbound and westbound lanes of I-70 will be restricted during nighttime work hours as crews complete the latest phase of ongoing bridge replacement and restoration projects. The closures are weather-dependent and may shift based on conditions or construction progress.
The overnight work zone is located on I-70 between U.S. 41 and the State Line Road area on the east side of Terre Haute. INDOT says crews will be returning traffic to its original lane pattern and placing new pavement markings as part of the final restoration steps for the project. Drivers should expect changing lane configurations, reduced speeds, and the possibility of short delays.
The agency did not specify exact nightly hours; however, similar INDOT operations typically run from evening into early morning to reduce daytime traffic impacts. Motorists traveling between Terre Haute, West Terre Haute, Riley, and the surrounding Vigo County communities are encouraged to allow extra time, especially for late-night or early-morning commutes.
This portion of the bridge project is anticipated to last through December, weather-permitting. INDOT will continue to release updates as conditions change.
Drivers can follow the latest construction information and project status through INDOT West Central’s official channels or via the project link provided in the agency’s announcement.
