Columbus, Ohio ?

Yes the outer belt is the way to go

but on a sat or sun you can breeze right threw the middle of town, and its just been repaved. the bypass is ruff.

Traffic gets backed up either way.... The actual "downtown" portion of 70 is only tight for a couple miles and then it's smooth sailing again. Which way are coming from? What roads?

My usual answer: Check traffic conditions before you go.

we drove right up I-71 through the city with no issues at all. Spent the night about 30 miles north of there at Cardinal Center RV Park.

We usually travel I-70 east and west a couple times a year.
I've tried I-270 a few times.
I think I-70 is the quickest and easiest route. That's the way we always go now.
Just don't hit it at rush hour and you'll be fine

Go through town except in rush hours. Good roads

I live here so maybe I can help you if you say where you are wanting to go? 70 or 71? it makes a difference

We will be traveling I70 to and beyond Indianapolis, IN.
As for Indianapolis, is it recommended to travel through or take the bypass there ?

Thanks for all the helpful responses ! :)

LTJG....Be advised that the Columbus area had a bad accident and fire this morning at the junction of I70 & I270 on the west side of the city. A tanker truck crashed and 8K of fuel created a fire.

The fire destroyed/compromised the roadway in this area and some of the roads are closed. I don't think ODOT has figured out how they are going to address the structure or the detour routing. No matter which route you take (I270 or I70) the pinch point is in this area.

I'll continue to monitor the news and let you know what ODOT has decided. It should be on the news tonight or tomorrow.

Hope this helps.
