The Indiana Department of Transportation is looking for artists to help design an art exhibit at the Kankakee Welcome Center

Construction for the I-465 Reconfiguration project on the southside of Indianapolis is still more than a year away, but state transportation officials want to prepare drivers for what is planned.

The agency said the "intersection conflict warning systems" are being put in place to alert drivers of traffic at two-way, stop sign-controlled intersections.

A $4.4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation will be used to advance smart transportation technology along a stretch of Interstate 70 running between Columbus, Ohio and Indianapolis.

Indiana saw a reduction in daily traffic volume of as much as 57 percent during the Stay-At-Home period.

The Indiana Department of Transportation will close a portion of Interstate 70 eastbound and westbound on Indianapolis' west side for approximately 30 days each.

The Indiana Department of Transportation closed eastbound I-70 on Monday between the highway's North Split with Interstate 65 near downtown Indianapolis to Interstate 465 on the city's east side.

Indiana first awarded the local road funding grants in 2016. Larger counties, cities and towns must match 50 percent of the money the state sends, while smaller communities only have to come up with 25 percent.

Interstate 70 on Indianapolis' east side was closed Thursday after a semi tanker trailer hauling fuel overturned and caught fire.

The proposed highway would begin at State Road 66 at Rockport and continue generally through the Huntingburg and Jasper areas before extending north to link up with I-69.
