November Luncheon Meeting
Topic: SR33/I270 Interchange
Joint meeting with ASHE
(Online registration and payment available, see bottom of page.)
The reconstruction of the I-270/US 33 interchange was identified as an intermediate project in the I-270/US 33 Northwest Freeway Study (NFS), completed by the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) and the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) in 2006. Eight conceptual alternatives were developed and studied to improve traffic operations, promote economic growth and eliminate hazardous crash areas while minimizing environmental and right-of-way impacts. The interchange improvements will be constructed in phases, with Phase 1 construction beginning in 2015 and Phase 2 construction approximately 15 years after completion of Phase 1.
Project highlights include:
- Accelerated design schedule – Selection of preferred alternative to final tracings in 14 months
- First project to use the Highway Safety Manual’s Freeway and Interchange crash prediction methodologies to evaluate safety performance
- Phased construction approach
- Widening US 33 from two lanes to four lanes in each direction for approximately two miles
- Realignment and reconstruction of seven ramps
- Eight new bridges and three widened bridges
- Eight new retaining walls
- Aesthetic enhancements
