The contractor is utilizing a queue-detection system with four sensors and a portable message board to notify westbound I-74 traffic entering Indiana from Ohio of slowed or stopped traffic ahead.
Travelers are urged to slow down and exercise caution in and near the work zone.
Patching will be complete later this fall. Milling and paving is scheduled to begin in July 2020. All work is weather dependent.
