The bridge deck is removed from the I-70 bridge over Commerce
INDOTThe Pine Street entrance ramp to Interstate70 Eastbound will open Saturday morning after being closed since late July.
The entrance ramp closure made it safe for crews to work. The work done has been new pavement and demolition and reconstruction of three new bridges.
“The North Split reconstruction project will provide safer, more free-flowing travel for the thousands of motorists who use the interchange each day. Once complete, the new system will take up a smaller footprint and increase the walkability of surrounding downtown Indianapolis neighborhoods,” INDOT said in a press release.
The Pine Street to Interstate 65 Northbound connection remains closed.
