Indianapolis, IN

All of those long months that drivers had to wade through traffic on I-70–even without truck traffic. Now, all of that is changing as the “new” lanes that have been built to expand it to the “Super 70″ are being unleashed, although that doesn’t mean the end of the project–in fact, all it means is that the westbound lanes will now be changing over to the eastbound ones that will be worked on.

This is, however, a lot of progress, and drivers should notice quite a difference, although state troopers have warned to take it easy–riding on that smoooooooooth surface just might make people want to rev it up, especially in the face of having to crawl through traffic over the last several months, but the speed limit will still be 45 through the construction zone, and with the new laws now in effect where the fines for getting in an accident in these areas almost being exponentially higher, it would be wise to really take it easy, although temptation may tell you to push down on the gas pedal.

We should be very proud of this development–this small six mile stretch houses almost 180,000 drivers a day on it, and this is not only making it more practical, but should end up being more safe! Now, the woes will start on the other side, but take heed, Indy-ites! We’re making progress, and it will all be over soon enough, so just grin and bear it for a while!!
