New Ramps Opening at East Side Interchange
By Monday morning, all lanes and ramps at the I-270/670 interchange will be OPEN. That includes the new ramps from I-270 north to SR 161/Easton and from I-670 east to SR 161/Easton. In addition, the ramp from US 62 west to I-270 north will reopen almost two weeks ahead of schedule.
These new ramps will position traffic exiting to SR 161 and Easton on the right, which will reduce the weaving and merging on I-270 north. Drivers should pay attention to the signs to ensure they're in the proper lane.
