Reminder

Watch for speed limit reductions in work-zones; they give you more time to react and prevent serious accidents. Following work-zone speed limits protects construction workers, prevents congestion and helps everyone reach their destinations safely.

Watch for a 55 mph work-zone speed limit on the southwest I-270 reconstruction and on I-71 near SR 665 as well as a 45 mph work-zone speed reduction on the downtown Crossroads I-71/I670 project.

I-270 Southwest Reconstruction

Project Details: A major reconstruction project is underway on I-270 on the southwest side of Franklin County between US 62 and Roberts Road. ODOT will make improvements down to the sub-surface on every travel lane in both directions and construct wider shoulders on 11 bridges. The three-year project is expected to be complete by late 2014.

ODOT will maintain at least two lanes of traffic on 270 in both directions during construction. Entrance and exit ramps along the seven mile construction zone will also be accessible. The ramp from westbound I-70 to southbound I-270 (on the west side) is reduced to one lane and is expected to remain in restricted through November 2012.

To allow crews to work on several lanes at a time, ODOT will shift traffic over to one side. There will be crossovers at the following locations to allow drivers to enter and exit 270: US 62, south of Georgesville Road, north of Georgesville Road, south of Broad Street and south of Roberts Road.

A crossover means that one direction of traffic will cross over, through the permanent median, to the other side of the road so that both directions of traffic are on the same side, which allows crews to work safely and more efficiently on that section of 270.

Between Broad Street and Roberts Road, ODOT will maintain three lanes in each direction. For southbound travelers, one of those lanes will be a different traffic pattern that we call a contra flow lane. A contra flow lane means that one lane of southbound traffic will be on the northbound side of the road with a portable barrier wall separating northbound and southbound traffic. (ODOT)
