COLUMBUS—I-71 N., E. Hudson Street is temporarily closed this afternoon, April 26th, due to a large tree obstructing the highway entrance ramp. It remains unclear how long the ramp will be closed. A service vehicle is present on the scene, though authorities say that removing over-sized trees from the road and propping them back up can be a lengthy process. It is expected that this blockage, combined with Arbor Day evening traffic, will lead to significant rush hour delays. At this time, E. Hudson is bumper-to-bumper in both directions, so avoid the area if possible and observe detour signs. For updated information, you should refer to a non-print news source.
