YouTubeThere are a couple of large construction vehicles in the grassy area to the right of the 670 East Neil Avenue Exit. Does anyone know what is going on over there?

It must really suck to work in that Spruce office building.
It seems like there has been one construction vehicle sitting just on the other side of the building that makes a crazy loud pounding sound into the ground. Saw it there all last week.
It made me think of that time in The Wire when the mayor sent a jackhammer crew to work in front of his rivals office during election season!

I don't think it is a sewer project. It appears to be a turn lane so that people coming off the Exit can turn right and merge onto Goodale/Vine Street heading West. If so, it is a really good idea because that exit gets backed up pretty quick behind a light that takes forever.

Hmmm, if it's a turn lane from the 670 exit then it appears to be dumping people of on Vine St going the wrong way though? When I drove by a couple of days ago they had built a concrete roadway entrance from vine st (which currently went no where) that was designed in such a way to allow only traffic from Vine St heading west.
Also it's not on ODOT's website either to further the mystery - http://www.dot.state.oh.us/districts/d06/2011/Pages/default.aspx

I emailed the City's project manager and received this reply:
The driveway you noticed on Vine St, and the other driveway recently built, at Spruce St., are to be used for construction of a biofilter facility and a tunnel shaft at the site across Spruce St. from 300 Spruce, and subsequently for maintenance access to these facilities. These driveways will not be used for public access/passage between Vine and Spruce streets.

City spending $6 million to clear the air near Downtown
By Spencer Hunt
The Columbus Dispatch Friday December 2, 2011 6:24 AM
It’s a rather indelicate problem: Columbus sometimes passes gas.
But help is on the way. City officials say a $6 million project will install a pair of giant sewage-gas “odor-eaters” in the Arena and Brewery districts.
The biofilters use bacteria to wipe out occasionally strong rotten-egg odors that waft from sewer grates in those areas. They should be operating in about a year.
