The new 270/33 interchange, when it’s complete in 2017, will feature creative landscape design and artwork inspired by Dublin’s culture and natural surroundings. Retaining walls will include designs that reflect a Scioto River scene, and the bridge piers and parapets will featured Celtic knotwork. The designs were developed based on community feedback.
Designers in California have begun the process of sculpting the clay forms that will be used for the interchange walls. The river scene and trees are starting to take shape. Once the clay forms are complete, they will be used to make rubber molds, which will be shipped back here to Dublin. Then, crews will use them when they pour the concrete for the new interchange walls.
