Traffic onto Interstate 70 in Zanesville will be severely impacted Tuesday as one of the city’s main onramps will be closed to the public.

The Ohio Department of Transporation announced the closure late Monday afternoon.

According to Public Information Officer Morgan Overbey with ODOT, the closure will allow crews to perform vegetation management.

The Maple Avenue onramp to the eastbound lanes of I-70 will be closed from 8:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m.

The closure is currently only planned to take one day.

Drivers are encouraged to seek alternative routes.
