Columbus highway ramps close this weekend for construction, ODOT says. Avoid these routes.

Your weekend driving plans might need some adjusting.

The Ohio Department of Transportation announced that a handful of ramps leading to the highways, state routes and interstates surrounding Columbus will face close this weekend and beyond.

These closures come on top of already existing highway disruptions caused by ODOT’s Downtown Ramp Up project to revamp Interstate 70 and Interstate 71 around Columbus.
