As a key regional transportation node, the I-270 / U.S. 33 Interchange is very important to the entire Central Ohio region. As a critical gateway from the northwest, the interchange has not been significantly upgraded since its initial construction in the 1960’s when Dublin was a rural community of less than 700 residents. Today, Dublin is home to over 41,000 residents and 66,500 employees. As an important node for commuter and freight movement along the northern outerbelt, Dublin, Marysville and Union County are collaborating with

the Ohio Department of Transportation to rebuild the interchange.

With a total estimated project cost of $45 Million, the City is proactively pursuing initial study phases and funding to expedite the study, design and approval process. City Council has approved $2.9 Million to move forward with Phase I studies for the project. Continued investment in this key transportation project will also maintain and improve access to the EAZ in the future.

Dublin is taking a regional leadership role to expedite improvements that will positively impact the EAZ and the entire U.S. 33 corridor.
