March 12, 2007: When IA 27 was created, signs on I-80 were retrofitted with mini-shields to save space. It’s this exit that will be going away next week. The Tiffin exit will serve as the turnaround.
The first loop ramp to go at the I-80/I-380 interchange was the most important one, eastbound 80 to northbound 380. The second was northbound US 218 to westbound 80.
Monday night, a third loop is being closed permanently: westbound 80 to southbound 218. Both it and the previous loop closure will require going past the interchange to the next exit (Forevergreen Road and the Tiffin exit, respectively) and turning around.
Both exit movements will not be restored until the end of the 2023 construction season, a full two years-plus from now.
The only loop remaining after next week is southbound 380 to eastbound 80.
Tuesday morning, the “exit point” from westbound 80 to northbound 380 will be moved ΒΌ mile east, closer to the Coral Ridge onramp and approximately at 80’s bridge over US 6 and the railroad based on the DOT’s explanatory map.
