Once the barriers are in place, three lanes of southbound traffic will be shifted to the right side of I-75 South.
ODOT said this traffic pattern will stay in effect until fall 2026.
Northbound traffic will shift the center and right lanes to the right side of I-75 north.
The northbound left lane will cross over into a contraflow lane on the southbound side of traffic. This lane will start just north of State Route 4 and State Route 48, according to ODOT.
Drivers in the contraflow lane will not be able to take several exits, including Stanley Avenue, Wagner-Ford Road, and Needmore Road.
This traffic pattern will last through fall 2025.
ODOT decided to keep the Wagner-Ford Road entrance ramp to I-75 south closed until fall 2026 for the safety of crews and drivers.
