I-70 rolling roadblocks planned near New Carlisle Sunday
ODOT will briefly close I-70 in both directions this weekend while crews finish overhead utility work.
I-70 will see short, repeated closures in both directions between Taywood Road and Union Road on Sunday, October 25, about 15.7 miles from New Carlisle. The closures will run from 7 to 9 a.m. as crews finish overhead utility work overhead the highway. ODOT +1
What drivers can expect
ODOT says each direction will face full closures lasting up to 15 minutes at a time during the two-hour window. Law enforcement officers will hold traffic in a rolling roadblock while the closures happen, rather than diverting cars onto a detour route. The work covers the westbound lanes ODOT and the eastbound lanes ODOT of I-70 between the same two interchanges.
This report is based on road-work notices the Ohio Department of Transportation posted for October 25, 2026, covering both the westbound and eastbound sides of I-70 between Taywood Road and Union Road. ODOT +1
