Marysville, OH – Drivers in Union County are being urged to avoid a busy stretch of U.S. Route 36 today after a crash forced a full roadway shutdown east of Marysville, impacting travel between the city and surrounding areas.
According to the Union County Sheriff’s Office, U.S. 36 is closed between the City of Marysville and Whitestone Road due to a crash at a bridge west of Mackin Road. The closure affects traffic traveling east of Marysville, a key commuter and regional connector route.
Authorities said the roadway has been completely shut down while emergency crews and investigators remain on scene. No estimated reopening time has been provided, and drivers are advised to use caution and find alternate routes for an unknown duration.
The closure impacts motorists traveling through Union County, including those commuting between Marysville, nearby townships, and the greater Columbus metro area. Traffic delays are expected as vehicles are rerouted to local roads not designed for heavy through traffic.
Officials have not released details on injuries, the number of vehicles involved, or the cause of the crash. Updates are expected once the investigation progresses and crews determine when the roadway can safely reopen.
Motorists are encouraged to monitor local traffic alerts, allow extra travel time, and avoid the area entirely if possible. Those who regularly use U.S. 36 should plan alternate routes until further notice.
