===Indiana=== {{Main|Interstate 70 in Indiana}} {{See also|U.S. Route 40 in Indiana}} [[File:View of downtown Indianapolis from I-70.jpg|thumb|right|I-70 near its junction with [[Interstate 65|I-65]], east of [[Downtown Indianapolis, Indiana]]]] I-70 enters Indiana just to the west of [[Terre Haute, Indiana|Terre Haute]] and then crosses the [[Wabash River]] before skirting the city's south side. After passing through miles of gently rolling terrain in rural west-central Indiana, the freeway approaches the major [[Indianapolis metropolitan area]]. The main entrance to [[Indianapolis International Airport]] was relocated to I-70's exit 68 on November 11, 2008. Upon nearing the [[central business district]] of Indiana's capital city, the visages of [[Lucas Oil Stadium]] and the [[JW Marriott Indianapolis]] hotel, with the city's skyline as their backdrop, now dominate the view to the north from the freeway. After passing just to the south of the world headquarters for [[Eli Lilly and Company]], I-70 and [[Interstate 65|I-65]] have a brief [[concurrency (road)|concurrency]] through the eastern side of [[Downtown Indianapolis]]. The junction points of these two major routes are known locally as the "South Split" and "North Split", respectively. The [[Interstate 465|I-465]] beltway provides access to [[Fishers, Indiana|Fishers]] via [[Interstate 69 in Indiana|Interstate 69]], which is concurrent with I-465 at the eastern interchange with I-70. [[Interstate 74|I-74]] meets I-70 at the western interchange with I-465, eastern access to I-74 can take place via its concurrency around the southern portion of the I-465 loop. After passing through much of the near northeast side of [[Indianapolis]], I-70 again encounters the I-465 beltway, which carries a multitude of unsigned U.S. Highways and Indiana state roads. I-70 continues on nearly due east from this point, first traveling through suburban [[Indianapolis]] and then transitioning into rural east central Indiana, where it passes just to the south of [[New Castle, Indiana|New Castle]]. Upon reaching the [[Richmond, Indiana|Richmond]] area, [[U.S. Route 35|US 35]] joins I-70 just before both routes leave Indiana together and enter Ohio.
