Title: I-270-315-US 23 interchange
Post by: Hot Rod Hootenanny on September 27, 2012, 11:32:49 PM
ODOT announced today that they will start work on rebuilding the interchange between US 23 and I-270 as well as tunneling thru traffic along US 23 from I-270 north (past Camp Mary Orton for the locals).
After spending the last 20 months saying that ODOT can't afford everyone's wishlist, Jerry Wray is allowing this project to go forth with just $70 million from the feds and the rest of the funds for this project yet to be determined. So much for fiscal conservatism.

Actually, some phases of this project have already been executed:
* Realignment and widening of ramps from 270 to 315 SB, eliminating merges (and creating safer lane drops downstream)
* Linworth Rd bridge rebuild
* I-270 bridge widenings east of US 23

The $71 Million Phase 1 of this project was one of the many things included in the recent state wide $3 Billion approval by TRAC.

(https://www.aaroads.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dot.state.oh.us%2Fdistricts%2FD06%2Fnews%2FPublishingImages%2FNorthSideFix.jpg&hash=408515c45cc24c4579ef4478571bb9c134cff5ec)

I really like the idea of having separate ramps for 23 S to 315 and 23 S to 270 W (which looks to be part of a later phase)

I'm not overly fond of the signalized intersections for 270 to 23, though I guess that was the only way to get rid of the cloverleaf weaving, short of some sort of flyover which would have been a bit extravagant for this location. At least with the express trench thing it turns out to be net loss of one traffic light for 270 E to 23 N and a net loss of 2 traffic lights for 270 W to 23 N

I admit, I'm kinda sad to see the "Exit 23" signage go.

Granted, it never really made any sense--that section of US 23 isn't a freeway, and shouldn't have exit numbers anyway--but it was neat to see the three-way "23" coincidence (Route number 23, exit 23 of I-270, and mile 23 of US 23 in Franklin County) noted in some way.

It seems odd to go to the trouble of grade-separating traffic and only do it in one direction.

Of course it would be ideal to have two-way freeway conversion all the way to Waldo, but I'll take what I can get.

PS – cloverleaf becomes parclo July 6.

I'm not sure there's room to do that for two carriageways; I figure they're thinking traffic coming off the freeway gets priority. It *would* be cool to have the trench reversible but that would make heads explode here.

I remember what happened when Mike Coleman brought up the possibility of light rail in Columbus. Being from the east coast, I thought it was a great idea, but people from their had their heads exploding. Columbus may be the 15th-largest city in America, but it functions like a small town in so many ways, partially because much of the growth is very recent. Reversible would be nice, but I can't picture people there buying it. If they're not going to build I-73, I'd certainly take this. I've been stuck at lights over there for more time than I ever should have spent there.

They say this is the biggest small town in America.  At least there is some new noise about rail from downtown to the airport, whatever the hell that would do.  But yeah, I've lived in plenty of places where reversible lanes are normal, and I usually have faith in drivers here adapting to weird things but reversible lanes might be a bit too much.

People here complain about roundabouts and the DDI at Roberts Rd.  These are the same people who avoid those places, specifically because they don't want to have to adapt.

On the other hand, I don't think I've heard anyone complain about the SPUI at Sawmill in a while.

They've finally stopped complaining about the SPUI? Are they still complaining about the one at Sunbury? If they're complaining about the DDI, I expect all hell to break loose when they reconfigure the south innerbelt and get rid of Exit 100.

I've always thought Roberts Road would be a good spot for a DDI. Not a great SPUI candidate, but from what I've seen, the DDI works.

I know there are a bunch of mini-roundabouts on the east side, between Bexley and James Rd. I've seen people treat them pretty strangely, namely turning left without rounding the planter in the middle. Why they're even there still baffles me, as at least 2 approaches have stop signs.

I live right off Roberts, that DDI is nothing short of a God-given miracle.  It really works because they nailed the timing of the lights at Wilson and Westbelt as well to clear off the bridges smoothly.

http://www.dot.state.oh.us/projects/I-270/Documents/North%20Side%20MEGA%20Fix%20Fact%20Sheet.pdf

According to this pdf, the part of the overall project that involves separate ramps from US 23 to 315 and 270 also begins this year along with the projects on 270 and 315 that were mentioned in my above post. Since so much will be going on at the same time they have apparently decided to change the name of the overall project from the "North Side Fix" to the "North Side MEGA Fix"

I really like the concept of those separate ramps off 23 and am glad to see that part of the project getting underway.

Wow. So that's it, isn't it? Are there any more components not yet funded? The way the Linworth Rd bridge was rebuilt, it looks like they left room for some more width or ramp extensions along 270 west of 315. I seem to recall something about a new 315 NB to 270 WB ramp in the long run...

NB has to deal with traffic exiting 270. I'd have liked to have seen a reversible lane setup, but that would fry many brains around here.

ODOT expects to have improvements to the southbound 23 way ready within days (I forget exactly when, but it was qualified with "weather permitting") according to Twitter. I think this means they'll have it restriped to its final lane configuration, with a third through lane and left turn lanes for the intersections that span the trench.

Meanwhile, along 270, work has begun modifying the westbound 270 ramp to 315 bridge over the Olentangy, and there's some significant excavation going on in the westbound braid area. A bridge abutment is taking shape just west of 23. And there are already hints of the new ramps from 270 eastbound to 23 and from southbound 315 to eastbound 270.

I live about a mile away from the 270/23 interchange so I've taken a lot of pictures in the past month or so that I've been here. With that in mind, I haven't made it over there since Sunday night when they were supposed to restripe it (and nearby Campus View Blvd as well) but I will take pictures Saturday morning when on my way south to Kentucky.

I was in Columbus twice recently and was able to drive the trench both times, once from the ramp from 270 east and once from the ramp from 270 west. Nice improvement, and I look forward to seeing how they end up signing the entrance to the trench and local lanes, and whether there will be signage on the ramps from 270 telling you which turn lanes lead to the trench/local lanes.

ODOT press release from July 1:

http://www.dot.state.oh.us/projects/I-270/Pages/Another-Milestone-Reached-on-Northside-Project.aspx

QuoteAnother Milestone Reached on Northside Project
Marching towards the Finish Line

COLUMBUS — (NEW)  Another milestone will be reached as three intersections are opened on the North Side Fix project at Interstate 270 and US Route 23 just in time for the holiday weekend. The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) started the $78 million project in 2013.

Northwoods Boulevard South and West Campus View Boulevard reopened this morning and York Temple Drive will open in time for the afternoon drive home.  All three intersections were completely re-built as part of this mega highway project.

The completion of these intersections means the completion of the entire project is just months away.

"I applaud the drivers of Central Ohio who have been patient with us during construction of this first phase,"  said Jack Marchbanks, ODOT District 6 Deputy Director. " Building additional lanes and bridges, new entrance and exit ramps that will improve safety and efficiency while maintaining traffic is challenging, but we succeeded,"  said Marchbanks.

An average of 150 to 175-thousand vehicles travel the Interstate 270/ US Route 23 interchange every day.

This project also constructed Ohio's first trench that carries two express lanes for US 23 north under the surface roads. The trench opened almost a year ago in September.

Drivers will notice when the new York Temple Drive opens later today, it's in a new location. It exits on to W. Campus View instead of US 23 directly. The intersections at Northwoods Blvd. South and W. Campus View are new but will function just as they did prior to construction.

For the remainder of the summer, the contractor will focus on completing work on the new southbound lane for US 23,  opening all southbound lanes on the new US 23 bridge over I-270 and the ramps at the interchange. Weather permitting, completion on this phase of work is expected late August or early September.

Work continues at Interstate 270 and State Route 315. That project is set to be complete late next year.

I noticed yesterday that the NB 315 exit to EB 270 now includes an orange "EXIT 12A" gore sign.  This is consistent with an exit numbering plan for 315 that I've seen, but this exit has never been signed with a number before, and I was surprised to see its debut on a temporary orange sign.

Today, an Exit 101B BGS was being installed at the gore point for the ramp from U.S. 23 North to I-270 West. It seems odd to me that they are numbering that exit as the surrounding area of 23 isn't a freeway.

If it hasn't been installed already, they're going to do the same with the 270/23 exit on the south side. If my memory serves me it'll be exit 83.

Better than how ODOT used to number exits on non-Interstates. If they had numbers, they reset at county lines. US 33 in Athens is the poster child.

Just as it seemed odd to me that the entrance ramps were signed Exit 23A and Exit 23B in the past.

Ohio has been adding/replacing exit tabs throughout the state in the last 10-12 years to conform to mileage from the state line instead of the county lines--except for US 33 in Athens (and OH 32 near Jackson/Wellston--EXIT 17 for OH 327/OH 124 East instead of EXIT 114).

Thanks for the info!

Question: Are the ramps that feed into 315 and 270 on the right side (north) of 270 (from 23) going to still have that short half-ramp onto 270 west, or is that temporary? I've yet to find anything ODOT-related about this and their site is never updated. You'd think they'd update it more.

Even at rush hour the megafix still hasn't alleviated too much because 71 backfills all the traffic back to 315. Expensive project for not much gain.

Thank you! For some reason when I went to the Mega Fix website a few weeks ago they had a few pics up of 315/270 but not the feeder ramps!

Question: Are the ramps that feed into 315 and 270 on the right side (north) of 270 (from 23) going to still have that short half-ramp onto 270 west, or is that temporary? I've yet to find anything ODOT-related about this and their site is never updated. You'd think they'd update it more.

What does the flyover ramp supposed to look like?  Currently it's a loop from 315 N to 270 W.

This is what was originally intended for 315-270. This map dates back to 2004.

As far as I'm aware, that NB to WB flyover will still be an optional additional project for the future.

Thanks to you and Hot Rod Hoot. Two last things:

Also, with the new ramps put in, they will remove the slip ramp. Do they just jackhammer the road that was there? (short ramp from the loop at 270/315 onto WB 270)? Or do they put grass over it?

On the West Side Mega Fix (additional lanes) ODOT told me that they would be ready Fall '18--but they already have some basic pavement down. Even allowing for winter freeze delays and frost, shouldn't it be done by spring '18?

There is quite a bit of bridge widening that needs to be done further south; I'm not sure any work has even started on that bit yet. In addition, it's entirely possible the parts of new pavement are to allow traffic to shift towards the middle to start work on rebuilding the outer lanes.

Drove the US 23 S to 315 ramp for the first time on Monday, very nice to see it finally done.

Today I noticed they still have the sign on US 23 South leading up to the I-270 exit that reads:

Ohio St Univ
Exit 270 West
To 315 South

That needs to be updated, because now you exit to 315 directly from 23, and if you do get on 270 west you won't be able to get on 315.

Also, I would have expected there to be BGS's to explain the new 270 vs. 315 options from southbound 23, but all they have put up is a series of these: (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180204/e8c2ee73ff62a695582af235dfadceec.jpg)
