New Traffic Pattern for I-71 South at I-70

Starting Tuesday morning, traffic coming from SR 315 south to I-71 south will have a new decision - take the left "express" lane or the right "local" lane. Traffic in the express lane will NOT be able to exit at Frank Road. Headed to Frank Road? Stay in the right lane.

This change will only impact southbound drivers coming from SR 315. Southbound traffic coming from I-70/71, will not be able to use the express lane as they'll enter the interstate after the split. 

Here's how traffic will be impacted Monday night to shift traffic into its new pattern.
