This week, highway crews across the state will post 70 mph speed limit signs to replace those that read 65 mph. The Legislature recently approved the bump in speeds on approximately 810 miles of Interstate. Most of the work - 470 new signs, should be done by Wednesday.

According to theDOT, the higher speed limit takes effect as soon as the sign is posted.
