Traffic Management

To maximize work space, safety and limit confusion, there will


be two major phases of work. Each phase will result in a
reduction of one lane from the existing configuration.

The project maintains access to/from I-291.

Designated on/off ramps remain closed until late fall of 2017 for
operational/safety reasons and to expedite construction.

Access to downtown and local businesses will be maintained


using East and West Columbus and Hall of Fame Avenues.

Continuing analysis of traffic conditions and response to issues


as they arise.
