Title: New gantries on 270 near Gahanna
Post by: route17fan on August 16, 2014, 05:11:07 PM
Just over the last day or two, ODOT (or a contractor) installed two new gantries between Hamilton Rd and 670. An errant US 317 shield appears at the northbound exit and the next two overheads are brand new!

I'm relatively new to the forum and learning how to attach photos in to the messages  :biggrin: but I am hopeful that a modification in the signage from NB 270 to 670 Westbound can be modified to prevent Airport traffic weaving from the left lane to the right lane on the ramp past Johnstown Rd.

I snapped this pic on the 8th. Apologies for the glare.

US 317? Looks like they're trying to make up for the loss of I-73 there...or maybe not.

That nicely complements the errant narrow US 315 shield on OH 315 (http://goo.gl/maps/wJiPH)!

There's also the reverse: an OH 62 sign on eastbound US 62/OH 3 on the approach to the Main Street Bridge over the Scioto River.

That makes the list of the ugliest assemblies I have ever seen.

Between ODOT's love for clearview, mixed with a non-existent US 317 does make for a .. well  :banghead: and a  :crazy:

As of 10 September, the errant US 317 shield northbound on I-270 has been replaced with a correct Ohio 317.   :biggrin:
