REMINDER: Eastbound US 70 right lane restrictions between mileposts 335.6 and 340 daily from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday as crews continue ADA ramp work.

  • Motorists should plan for rolling lane restrictions as crews work in multiple sections each day throughout the project area.
  • The speed limit will be reduced to 35 mph in the work zone.

Drivers should allow extra travel time, use caution, be prepared to slow down and merge safely when approaching and traveling through all work zones.
