Downtown Ramp Up

Interstates 70/71 Reconstruction – I-70/71 will experience lane restrictions through downtown Columbus to widen and reconstruct the roadway, replace bridges over the interstate, rebuild ramps, and construct new urban avenues parallel to the interstate. Various downtown ramps will permanently close. Estimated completion: August 2025

CONTINUING IMPACTS

  • The Broad St. ramp to I-71 southbound closed in July 2020 until Summer 2022. 
  • Broad St. is reduced to two lanes westbound and one lane eastbound on the bridge over Interstate 71. Traffic is shifted to the new south half of the bridge so crews can demolish and rebuild the north half. This traffic pattern on Broad St. will remain in effect until Summer 2022. 

All work is weather dependent; it may be postponed or cancelled without prior notice.
