(Richmond, IN)--Drivers on a section of I-70 will soon be getting their first taste of driving on new pavement that used to be the median.  Traffic on eastbound I-70 is set to move to the new roadway as crews begin work on a new phase of the project.  The shift extends from west of U.S. 35 to State Road 227.  The east and westbound lanes in that area are now separated by a barrier wall.  There has also been another ramp closure this week.  The ramp from westbound 70 to westbound U.S. 40 at the state line has been closed, effectively cutting interstate traffic to east-side Richmond businesses in half.
