LTJG....... According to the paper this morning the west bound lanes of I70 are open to traffic.
The east bound lanes are closed. East bound I70 traffic is rerouted on to I270 around the southern portion of the city.
ODOT is in expedite mode and are constructing a cross over which will carry two lanes of traffic in both directions in the west bound lanes of I70. Hopefully this will be done by this weekend.
You didn't mention the time frame or what you are pulling for this trip. Be advised that when the cross over is completed, the road narrows to 11 feet and the speed limit will be reduced.
It's not clear in the report, but I think the exit from I270 north to I70 west on the west side of the city will be closed until the reconstruction is complete, therefore going around the city on the southern portion of I270 is NOT an option. The accident happened at this exit.
Taking north I270 around the city is open,longer, but has its challenges also. There is construction at the junction of I270 & Rte 23 on the north side, also at I270 & Rte 33 in Dublin. The road is open, but slows the flow of traffic. These routes have 3-6 lanes depending on the location.
