INTERSTATE 70 CLOSED DOWNTOWN THIS WEEKEND
Interstate 70 EB & WB between SR 315 and I-71 will close this weekend beginning Friday night to demolish the Grant St. Bridge. By Sunday morning, weather permitting, the entire concrete bridge deck will be gone, and the only thing remaining will be the steel beams. Those beams will be removed during overnight closures within the next few weeks.
The new Grant St. Bridge-- which is expected to open in about nine months--is one in a series of ODOT projects to improve the I-70/71 corridor through downtown Columbus.
This weekend's closure will have I-70 EB closed until Sunday morning; I-70 WB will be open Saturday morning. Below is a graphic of the closure and more specific details.
