Traffic Alert: I-270 Lane Closures and Detours Near John Glenn Columbus Airport This Weekend
Columbus, OH – Drivers traveling near John Glenn Columbus International Airport should prepare for major lane reductions and detours on Interstate 270 this weekend, according to the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT).
Starting Friday, April 25 at 8 p.m., northbound I-270 at Hamilton Road will be reduced to two lanes, with restrictions remaining in place until Tuesday, April 29 at 5 a.m. In addition, the Hamilton Road southbound ramp leading to I-270 northbound will be closed during this period.
Detour Information:
Motorists will need to take Hamilton Road southbound to I-270 southbound, exit at Broad Street, and then merge onto I-270 northbound.
Meanwhile, Hamilton Road between Broad Street and Poth Road will be completely closed from Friday, April 25 at 6 p.m. to Monday, April 28 at 7 a.m. Crews will be working to replace storm sewers as part of the ongoing construction efforts.
Alternate Route:
Drivers should follow Broad Street to Yearling Road, proceed to 5th Avenue, and reconnect with Hamilton Road — or follow the same route in reverse depending on their direction.
These closures are part of ODOT’s extensive Franklin County Bridge Rehabilitation Project, a major infrastructure initiative to replace seven bridges over I-270. Construction began in spring 2024 and is scheduled for completion by summer 2025.
