COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has set a window of time for when a portion of Interstate 70 will reopen after it was closed due to a semi-truck crashing into an overpass Saturday.

ODOT said I-70 westbound will reopen before Monday’s morning rush hour. Additionally, the ramp from Interstate 71 South to I-70 westbound and one lane of 4th Street will reopen ahead of the rush hour.

According to Columbus police, portions of I-70 West and South 4th Street were closed after the semi-truck hauling a large excavator hit the 4th Street bridge over I-70. The crash happened at approximately 4:44 p.m.

ODOT said in a press release that Kokosing Construction used a salvaged beam from the recently demolished Front Street bridge to support the damaged section of 4th Street, with additional bracing set to be installed.

ODOT spokesperson Hannah Salem said having the construction crew nearby allowed the department to speed up the repair timeline and the highway reopened at 7:11 p.m.

“A 36-hour time period that we were really able to make these repairs, which requires all hands on deck, so we’re definitely very appreciative of our team being able to kind of drop everything and really, you know, get out there and make sure that everything is safe for the traveling public,” she said.

Salem added that the structural integrity of the entire bridge wasn’t compromised in the crash — just a portion of it.

“We were really concerned with the specific beam and the bridge deck above it,” Salem said. “So that is the reason for the entire closure of the interstate as well as the bridge above, just to keep everyone safe while those repairs were being made.”

ODOT’s Franklin County maintenance crews also used the I-70 closure to complete routine maintenance operations and litter pickup, tasks it said are challenging to perform while traffic is on the road.

Salem said the roadways will reopen overnight, and drivers are urged to use the department’s OHGO website for updated information.

“I-70 should be normal,” she said. “You shouldn’t see any lane closures or anything like that, barring any additional incidents.”
