Traffic Disruption on I-70 West Ramp to I-71 North After Saturday Crash
Columbus, Ohio – A traffic disruption on the I-70 westbound ramp to I-71 northbound in Columbus, Ohio, occurred after a crash on Saturday evening. The incident took place around 7:30 p.m., leading to the temporary closure of the ramp and traffic restrictions on I-70 westbound.
According to Columbus police, a vehicle collided with a barrier, causing the ramp to be closed, followed by restricted traffic flow. Emergency responders from the police and fire departments arrived on the scene shortly after the crash. One person was transported to a nearby hospital in stable condition.
In addition to the ramp closure, the left two lanes on I-70 westbound, near Kelton Avenue and Miller Avenue, were also blocked. This caused significant delays for drivers trying to access I-71 northbound.
As of 8:15 p.m., the restrictions remained in place, and the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) reported ongoing traffic issues. The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes and avoid the I-70 westbound ramp to I-71 northbound to avoid further delays. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
