INDIANAPOLIS — Downed power lines forced the closure of both directions of Interstate 70 just east of downtown Indianapolis for roughly an hour Thursday morning, Indiana State Police said.
Around 7:30 a.m., a truck struck power lines, causing them to fall across both the eastbound and westbound lanes of I-70 near the Rural Street and Keystone Avenue exit.
Traffic backed up for miles in both directions before the power lines were removed and the interstate reopened around 8:30 a.m.
