Parts of Interstate 70 west and South Fourth Street will be closed for several days for repairs after a crash early Saturday evening.

Officers responded about 4:45 p.m. Saturday to a report of a semi that hit the South Fourth Street bridge over I-70, according to the Columbus Division of Police.

"The damage to the bridge was so severe that I-70 westbound and S. 4th St. will need to be closed for several days," according to police.

Authorities have set up the following detours:

  • Interstate 70 west to I-71 north to I-670 west, back to I-70 west

  • Interstate 71 south to I-70 east to I-270 south, back to I-71 south

Authorities encourage motorists to use High Street or South Grant Avenue instead of South Fourth Street. Meanwhile, I-70 east will remain open.
