According to Fox 28, this weekend marks the second of several weekends the Ohio Department of Transportation will close part of I-670 and I-71 near downtown Columbus for pavement repairs and resurfacing. This weekend, crews are working on I-670 westbound and I-71 north.

While impactful, completely closing part of I-670 and I-71 for a whole weekend is more time efficient than working each night on a small section of pavement. That could take months.

Here’s how traffic will be impacted:

FRIDAY, APRIL 24—(NEW) INTERSTATE 670 WEST

At 8 PM, the following ramps will close:

– Dublin Rd. to I-670 west to I-70. (Detour is Dublin Rd. east to SR 315 south)

At 9 PM, the following ramps will close:
