Martinsville – a city 30-miles southeast of Indianapolis – has already received a good dousing of the S.R. 37 into I-69 conversion project. There’s now a light at the end of the tunnel, but mercy that tunnel long. This Saturday (1/2), S.R. 37 will close for five miles in and around Martinsville, weather permitting. It’s […]
Capping off a year that’s one exorcism short of an incubus in every bedroom, construction on the north split – the spot where I-65 and I-70 merge on the northeast side of downtown – is scheduled to begin sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas of this year. The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) says this girthy […]
As you know, Indiana and Indianapolis (Marion County) have initiated separate strategies for reopening restaurants, massage parlors, gymnasiums, and other business types, placing Marion County residents and the rest of the state on an Avengers style alternate timeline to normalcy.

This is your friendly reminder that westbound I-70 from I-465 to the north split closed Friday morning at midnight, meaning if you’re one of the few who must cross our realized Mad Max post-apocalyptic fantasy full of half naked raiders and zombie dogs, then you’ll need an alternative to I-70 in order to commute into […]
If you’re still working from your doomsday shelter, you probably haven’t had the pleasure of twisting around the eastbound I-70 closure from the north split to I-465. Given the unprecedented volume of traffic (as in nearly vehicle free), the closure really hasn’t been that bad. However, things will return to normal, and once again we’ll […]
Since we’re all staying home and keeping our hands and sneezes to ourselves, there’s been exponentially less travel on our interstates. That’s allowed the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) a chance to knock out a major road project ahead of schedule, and they’re going for it. That I-70 closure that was supposed to happen this […]
Well, my life is weird. How about yours? I’m thinking an Independence Day sized flying saucer sucked up all the drivers and took ’em to another world made of garlic pizza crust, or COVID-19 has finally caused society to retreat to the Earth’s Core, which is made of dipping sauce.
