According to the Ohio Department of Transportation, other construction that is anticipated to affect highways in Clark and Champaign county areas include:

Lane widening on Interstate 70 between U.S. 68 and State Route 72. There will be a traffic shift, ramp closures and lane restrictions in each direction to create three continuous lanes on I-70 in Clark County. The estimated completion for this project is Spring 2022.

Two lanes on I-70 in each direction will remain open to drivers, but crews will be working on the inside pavement and median.

Resurfacing on U.S. 40 in Springfield. There will be nightly lane closures from Limestone Street (S.R. 72) to Greenmount Avenue through Sunday, Oct. 31.
