Indiana Traffic

UPDATE: The Ditch Rd. bridge did NOT close Wednesday or Thursday as planned because of the rain. The schedule has been moved back, and the three day closure is scheduled to begin Friday morning, weather permitting. This post has been updated to reflect those changes.

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 […]

On Wednesday morning, the Indianapolis Department of Public Works announced projects for the 2020 construction season.

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 […]

Drivers in the Indianapolis area will soon have to find alternative ways to get around the city.

It has to be one […]

As a traffic reporter, someone who begrudgingly details the daily vehicular calamity on the streets, I find this winter extremely unfulfilling. I’m glad for you, you safe driver you, but what about me? What’s my purpose? I know, just take me out to the barn and shoot me. Jam my remains into a freezer; “Traffic […]

Stupid Indiana weather once again delayed a north split ramp closure. Instead of last weekend and the weekend before, the ramp from westbound I-70 to southbound I-65 will close this coming Friday night, February 21st, and reopen Sunday evening, February 23rd. As always, and just like getting a day of sunshine in February, this is […]
