Heads up, commuters: a key ramp closure is scheduled for the junction of Hamilton Road and I-270. Starting at 8 p.m. on Friday, the southbound Hamilton Road ramp to I-270 North will be inaccessible to traffic, with plans to reopen at 5 a.m. next Tuesday. This is part of the Ohio Department of Transportation’s (ODOT’s) efforts to upgrade the road infrastructure in the area. The City of Gahanna's announcement states that this closure is weather-dependent and may be subject to change.
As drivers will be unable to use this popular access point to I-270 North, officials have suggested alternative routes. Motorists can join the interstate via U.S. 62 West or Broad Street during the closure period, the Department’s notice stated. These alternatives are expected to manage the traffic flow while the ramp is off-limits. Drivers should anticipate potential delays and plan their routes accordingly to avoid any inconvenience.
Maintaining up-to-date traffic flow information is crucial as the construction work progresses. As such, updates will be provided by the City through their official website and social media channels. Commuters are urged to stay informed by checking Gahanna.gov for the latest news and traffic alerts to help navigate the roadwork smoothly.
