The Ohio Department of Transportation has closed the I-270 southbound ramp to westbound State Route 33 on the north side out of concern it might collapse under heavy rainfall expected in the next few days. ODOT crews will spend the next week realigning and resurfacing the ramp. ODOT says Sawmill Road and Tuttle Crossing Boulevard are the alternate routes. Officials hope to reopen the ramp late next week, if  the weather allows for repair work to be completed. A 70 million dollar project to improve the 270/33 interchange is scheduled to be completed next year. More information may be found online at 27033interchange.org
