Planning and construction of Interstate 270, the Columbus Outerbelt, began in 1965. It was completed by the mid-1970's. Outerbelts were a common solution to traffic congestion due to urban sprawl. Businesses then moved to suburban locations, accelerating the decline of the inner city's economic life.
As development has spread beyond the outerbelt, fringe cities like Worthington have experienced economic challenges, as their geographic growth is limited.
