in dublin sr 315 near worthington i 71 near westerville sr 161 near new albany i 670 near gahanna i 70 near reynoldsburg us 23 near grove city location country united states state ohio counties franklin highway system interstate highway system main auxiliary suffixed business future ohio state highway system interstate us state scenic sr 269 sr 270 interstate 270 i 270 is an auxiliary interstate highway that forms a beltway loop freeway in the columbus metropolitan area in the us state of ohio commonly known locally as the outerbelt or the jack nicklaus freeway the zero milepost is at the junction with interstate 71 east of grove city intersecting with i 71 again near worthington as well as connecting with interstate 70 twice with the western junction near lincoln village and the eastern junction near reynoldsburg the route furthermore links to the eastern terminus of interstate 670 near gahanna and provides indirect access to john glenn columbus international airport the entire length of i 270 is 54 97 miles 88 47 km it is one of four interstate loops not to run concurrently with another interstate freeway the others being i 295 in florida i 485 in north carolina and i 610 in texas route description edit i 270 provides access to several suburbs and towns surrounding columbus including grove city westerville worthington hilliard and dublin although it started as a rural bypass of columbus many parts of it primarily the northern section have become more traveled and more congested over the years making it less popular as a bypass and more widely regarded as a suburb connector i 270 starts at i 71 on the southern side marked as exit 55 and forms a combination interchange it then makes its way clockwise around the city with three lanes intersecting u s route 62 us 62 georgesville road and us 40 before its next major interchange with i 70 here it becomes a four lane freeway as it passes through hilliard and dublin i 270 interchange at us 33 sr 161 the northwestern corner of i 270 has an interchange with us 33 state route 161 sr 161 it then makes a sharp right as it heads toward worthington in worthington are the notoriously congested interchanges of three major roadways sr 315 us 23 and i 71 this is the location of the north side mega fix which fixed the heavy weaving section between us 23 and sr 315 however the project also worsened weaving between us 23 and i 71 leading to frequent mile long 1 6 km backups 2 after passing through worthington i 270 passes through westerville intersecting cleveland avenue and sr 3 after going through westerville the freeway intersects sr 161 and the freeway is divided into local express lanes with three local and three express lanes in each direction this is where the freeway goes through easton a popular shopping destination once the freeway has gone through easton the local express lanes merge right before the interchange of i 670 creating a weaving section this weave is currently being fixed in the northbound direction as part of the i 670 smartlane project after intersecting i 670 the freeway makes a hard turn left and then right to avoid both john glenn columbus international airport and gahanna in between these two turns is a partial cloverleaf interchange with hamilton road and after the turns is an interchange with sr 16 the freeway then divides from four lanes into two express lanes and three local lanes this configuration continues up until the interchange with i 70 this interchange is planned to be entirely reconstructed to construct two flyover ramps as well as unweave and widen i 70 as part of the far east freeway study 3 after the i 70 interchange the freeway becomes much more of a rural route with only three lanes in each direction the next interchange after i 70 is with us 33 a cloverleaf after this the freeway intersects alum creek drive then us 23 before the freeway meets back with i 71 forming a loop history edit i 270 at exit 33 planning edit planning for an outerbelt around columbus began in the late 1950s by the early 1960s detailed planning for the route had begun and several controversies arose the first involved the location of the northern segment which was originally planned to pass south of worthington passing through the ohio school for the deaf and just north of the then 10 year old graceland shopping center through vigorous lobbying throughout 1961 and with the help of ohio governor michael disalle residents were able to get the outerbelt relocated to pass north of worthington 4 another contentious issue involved the routing of the eastern portion of the outerbelt between port columbus international airport and the city of gahanna while the airport wanted the outerbelt pushed out toward gahanna so as to leave land for future runway expansion the residents of gahanna wanted it pushed back toward columbus the final compromise led to an interesting kink in i 270 as it jogs around the airport 5 construction edit northwest of i 270 exit 15 tuttle crossing boulevard construction of the outerbelt began in 1962 and work was begun on various disconnected sections the first portion to be completed connected us 23 with i 71 south of columbus 6 the portion between us 23 and i 71 on the north side opened in august 1967 7 the section between i 70 on the west side and i 71 on the south side opened in august 1970 8 in late 1970 sections opened on the east side between us 33 and i 70 and between sr 3 in westerville and sr 161 on the east side it was now possible to bypass columbus using i 270 by going around the south side of the city 9 in june 1971 the section between morse road and sr 161 on the east side opened in october 1971 another section on the east side between i 70 and east main street opened it would take four more years to complete the northeast portion of the outerbelt 10 the last section of i 270 on the east side between hamilton road and east broad street was opened on august 20 1975 11 the total cost of the 10 year construction project was 175 million equivalent to 790 million in 2024 12 compared to the original 1961 estimate of 104 million equivalent to 833 million in 2024 12 accidents and incidents edit southwest of i 270 in december 1965 during the construction of the northern section of i 270 across the n wr and nyc osl railroad tracks between us 23 and i 71 the latter operator was wrecked after it hit a piece of earthmoving machinery resulting in the operator s death and the injury of several passengers and crew the train was dumped into the cornfield resulting in a major operation to clean it up 13 on november 4 1968 david r booth aged 29 became the first person to die on i 270 when he hit another car while merging onto us 23 from i 270 14 in february 1974 three trucks traveling on i 270 on the south side near us 33 were struck by gunfire during a violent teamsters strike 15 the highway was the subject of national media attention in 2003 when 24 sniper shootings were reported along the southern portion of the interstate and other neighboring highways in the ohio highway sniper attacks on november 23 2003 62 year old gail knisley was shot to death making her the only fatality associated with the string of shootings charles a mccoy jr who had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in 1996 was accused of the shootings and stood trial in 2005 the first trial with death penalty charges resulted in a hung jury on may 9 2005 most likely due to mccoy s severe mental illness rather than face a retrial mccoy accepted a plea arrangement where he avoided the death sentence he was sentenced to 28 years in prison on august 9 2005 on january 23 2017 a gas tanker carrying 8 000 us gallons 6 700 imp gal 30 000 l of gasoline tipped over while exiting from us 33 sr 161 onto i 270 west in dublin a massive fire resulted from the crash as well as multiple small grass fires caused by the gasoline dripping down the sides of the flyover ramp both highways were shut down in both directions for the day and the ramp was shut down for one week as repairs were made the only fatality was that of the truck driver 16 expansion and noise barriers edit in 1978 the first noise barriers were constructed on the portion of i 270 passing near gahanna noise barriers have been slowly added around the length of the 55 mile long 89 km belt as development has crowded up to the noisy road 17 massive development followed the construction of i 270 especially around the north and northwest sides the northern suburbs of westerville worthington and dublin and hilliard to the west benefited the most as in other sizeable cities across america the effect of this outerbelt driven development was to hasten the decline of the columbus core the south portion of i 270 was much slower to develop due to the location of sewage treatment and landfill facilities as well as quarries and the flood prone scioto river grove city began to develop in the 1990s with the addition of office warehouse space and the conversion of rickenbacker air national guard base to a civilian air freight facility future edit due to the growth of central ohio there has been discussions since the 1990s of a 2nd outerbelt to help suburban sprawl such a 2nd outerbelt would most likely be in neighboring counties i 270 while entirely in franklin county comes close to entering delaware fairfield and pickaway counties in some areas and would likely connect or come in close proximity to exurbs such as circleville delaware lancaster london marysville and newark the proposal has been met with mixed reactions from residents and hasn t even been sent to the planning stages 18 in august 2025 the ohio department of transportation reactivated studies on its section of interstate 73 which would connect toledo with appalachian ohio and run through columbus largely on the us 23 corridor i 73 would mostly run on the existing ohio state route 315 routing in franklin county but would use part of i 270 to depart oh 315 to head towards delaware if ohio does build its section of i 73 i 270 would have a brief concurrency with the new route 19 20 exit list edit the
