All collector lanes will be open to and from the Indianapolis International Airport during the full closures.
During the closures, drivers are encouraged to find alternate routes and plan extra time to travel.
• From the airport to I-70 EB: Take the collector lanes to I-465 NB around to I-70 EB.

INDOT and contractor partner, Rieth-Riley, are accelerating planned construction on I-70 to allow work to be done before major events rescheduled due to the COVID-19 public health emergency resume. Full interstate closures are being used to ensure safety for workers, reduce the overall construction time, and maximize use of taxpayer dollars.
In construction zones, please slow down and pay attention. During the full closures, be prepared to find alternate routes.
