Interstate 70 on-ramp to be closed for 18 days

Staff report | Newark Advocate

ETNA - The ongoing Ohio 310/Interstate 70 interchange improvement project is about to cause another traffic headache.

Starting June 12, the eastbound ramp onto Interstate 70 from Ohio 310 will be closed for 18 days, according to the Ohio Department of Transportation.

The closure will allow work crews to remove the existing asphalt pavement and then replace it with new concrete pavement, according to ODOT.

The on-ramp will be closed for 18 days, and during that time traffic will be directed eastbound on nearby U.S. 40 to the Ohio 158 interchange, where drivers will be able to access eastbound Interstate 70.
