Can anyone from the T.H. area tell me if there is any construction zones i need to be aware of this year? Last year i was stuck on the Wabash bridge for.... too long, and don't want to miss any action this year!

I haven't been out of TH for a while and when I was I took 40 to Indy. Can't help you on out of TH, but in TH. 7th and Margaret is a avoid at all costs, There is only one through way for one road. Also, going north, 3rd st/41 is down to one lane is each direction at the overpass near the college.

I drove from Springfield IL to Bedford IN when I went to the "No Way Out 40". I had no trouble on the interstate part of that trip from Illinois Route 1 to the turnoff to Indiana Route 46 to Bloomington and back.

I guess I should have qualified, if I was driving on 70. I been avoiding 70 at all costs.

They interviewed Bob Sargent last night on WTHI channel 10 out of Terre Haute and he said they had put some new dirt on the track, put in a new PA system and PAINTED the wall around the track, looked good.....Now that's the kind of construction I like to hear about
They even talked about the schedule, even if it was local news I was glad to see the track get some air time on T.V

Track looks real good. I remember painting the concrete blocks when Mike King took over.

Drove out to track last Sunday while I was in town. Little stretch of 70 down to 1 lane but even with moderate traffic it should not be a problem. Wish I'd hung around for this weekend.
