In 2024, the total number of incidents for the year was 84. We are slightly past the halfway point in 2025, and our crews have experienced 74 incidents. This is unacceptable. Pay attention, move over, and slow down for vehicles with flashing lights. #ODOTWorks #WorkerWednesday
Put yourself in their shoes: imagine showing up to work every day, only to face the constant danger of dodging careless drivers. Move over. Slow down. Their lives are in your hands. #MoveOverMonday
DYK? In 2024 a motor vehicle was stolen every 37 seconds in the US. The ODOT Freeway Safety Patrol, sponsored by @GEICO, recommends you take your keys, lock your doors, park in well-lit areas and keep valuables out of sight. A little caution goes a long way. #GEICOSafetyPatrol
A beam come true!✨ Today, crews reached a major milestone on the Downtown Ramp Up project as the final bridge beam was set on the new I-71 southbound flyover ramp. With all beams now in place, the focus shifts to pouring the bridge deck as progress continues downtown Columbus.

Between 2014 and 2018, the most frequent type of bicycle crash involved motorists failing to notice cyclists. Under Ohio law, bikes are vehicles and can travel on any roadway aside from interstates. Share the road and watch for cyclists and pedestrians.
Thankful for our highway crews who tackle the dirty jobs like drainage cleaning, which keeps water off our roadways and helps motorists stay safe. #Drainage #Dirty #WorkerWednesday
UPDATE: The highway has reopened.
