Vigo County, In. – INDOT says that beginning next week several I-70 ramps will be temporarily closed for installation of camera poles.  The westbound exit ramp on I-70 at Indiana 641 going south will be closed from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m and on Oct. 4, the westbound exit ramp at Darwin Road will be closed from 9 p.m. from 3 a.m.  The Cameras mounted on these poles will be a part of the Information Technology Systems Installation project for Vigo County which includes adding three dynamic message boards at three overhead locations and installing nine closed circuit cameras along the interstate that will monitor traffic flow and accidents. The message boards will be located on I-70 eastbound just inside the state line, and at the 9.7-mile marker between U.S. 41 (Exit 7) and U.S. 40/S.R. 641 (Exit 11). One on I-70 westbound will be installed at the Clay/Vigo County line. The project was awarded to Midwestern Electric L.L.C. for more than $2.9 million.
