Drive America’s Highways for 77 miles east along Interstate 70 from West Street in downtown Indianapolis to the Ohio state line near Richmond, Indiana.

The drive begins near the western edge of downtown Indianapolis, where Interstate 70 enters the city’s central freeway network. Heading east, the highway approaches the South Split and joins northbound Interstate 65 along the southeastern side of downtown. The two interstates remain concurrent through the downtown corridor before reaching the North Split, where Interstate 65 continues north and Interstate 70 turns east toward the eastern side of Indianapolis.

Beyond downtown, Interstate 70 passes several major city interchanges, including connections with Rural Street and Keystone Avenue, Emerson Avenue, Shadeland Avenue, and Post Road. The highway crosses Interstate 465 near the eastern edge of Indianapolis, after which the dense urban landscape begins to give way to suburban development, industrial properties, and more widely spaced interchanges.

East of the beltway, the surroundings gradually transition from warehouses, commercial development, and residential areas to the open farmland of Hancock County. Interstate 70 passes through the Mount Comfort area before reaching the State Road 9 interchange, which provides the primary connection to Greenfield, U.S. Route 40, and surrounding communities in east-central Indiana.

Continuing east, the highway enters Henry County and passes north of Knightstown, Spiceland, and New Castle. This portion of the drive follows a mostly rural corridor of broad agricultural fields, wooded stream valleys, truck stops, and widely spaced interchanges serving communities located several miles from the interstate.

Interstate 70 then continues through western Wayne County near Cambridge City and north of Hagerstown. Approaching Richmond, the highway enters a busier transportation, commercial, and industrial corridor serving eastern Indiana. Interchanges connect with U.S. Route 35, U.S. Route 27, State Road 227, and U.S. Route 40 before the interstate reaches the eastern edge of Richmond and continues toward the Ohio state line.


The video concludes as Interstate 70 crosses the Indiana–Ohio state line, where the highway continues east toward Dayton and Columbus.
