I've proposed some changes to the state highway system in the Columbus area.
The freeway portion of route 315, which serves OSU, gets re-designated as Interstate 171.
US Route 23 joins I-270 EB at exit 52 and leaves at exit 23.
US Route 33 joins I-270 SB at exit 17 and leaves at exit 46.
US Route 40 joins I-270 SB at exit 7 and leaves at exit 41.
US Route 62 and State Route 3 join I-71 NB at exit 94, then I-270 EB at I-71 exit 101/I-270 exit 55. Route 62 leaves I-270 at exit 35, while route 3 leaves at exit 23.
State Route 745 is extended southward, following former Route 33 to the intersection with Grandview Avenue, which it follows southward until McKinley Avenue, which it follows eastward until Central Avenue, which it follows southward until ending at Broad Street (former Route 40).
A new Business Loop 71 is designated, running northward from exit 94 along Harrisburg Pike (former Routes 62/3) until reaching Broad Street, by which point it has become Central Avenue, then runs east along Broad Street to the intersection with Cleveland Avenue, which it follows northward until reaching 5th Avenue, following it eastward to end at I-71 exit 110A.
Spur US 33 is designated along a portion of former US 33 between I-70 and I-270 in southeastern Franklin County,
The purpose of the re-routings along I-270 is to both eliminate confusion arising from some of the affected routes running on one-way streets in downtown Columbus as well as to redirect through traffic on these routes around Columbus.
