According to the Columbus Division of Police, the following roadways are closed:

S.R. 79 in Licking County was closed near James Parkway after water washed away part of the road.

The ramp from I-70 East Bound to I-270 Northbound is closed due to high water. Motorists should avoid the area.

The ramp from I-270 westbound to US-23 northbound is closed due to high water. Closures are expected to last several hours.
