The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announce U.S. 41 will have 20 minute closures under I-70 in Vigo County beginning tonight during the overnight hours. 

​The closures will be between the hours of 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. for removal of boards underneath the deck that have been in place during construction. These temporary stoppages will occur in 20 minute increments during construction. Traffic will be allowed to clear before motorists are stopped again. 

Superior Construction Co. was awarded this bridge deck replacement project on I-70 for $6.9 million.  This project includes replacing the decks on both bridges over U.S. 41 and Thompson Ditch and the Indiana Railroad.  The project is scheduled for completion in October of 2018.

Lane restrictions on I-70 should be lifted by the end of this week.

INDOT reminds motorists to follow the posted work zone speed limit, use caution and consider worker safety when traveling through a construction zone.
