Section of I-70 near downtown Columbus to close this weekend for construction
A section of Interstate 70 west will be closed this weekend while work continues on the massive construction project to widen and rebuild the highway and rehab ramps and bridges, the Ohio Department of Transportation has announced.
The section of I-70 between Interstate 71 and Route 315 near downtown Columbus will close beginning at 10 p.m. Friday and remain closed until 5 a.m. Monday, Feb. 10.
Construction continues on December 19, 2024 on the I-70, I-71 and St. Rt. 315 project through downtown Columbus.
These closures stem from ODOT’s Downtown Ramp Up project to revamp Downtown Columbus’ highway system. The $1.4 billion project started in 2010 and is expected to continue until at least 2030, The Dispatch previously reported.
