Clime
Road Closure Delayed Until February 16
Franklin
County, Ohio
---
Dean C. Ringle
, P.E., P.S., Franklin County Engineer, announces that the February 2 start of
a 40-day closure of Clime Road, between Harrisburg Pike (U.S. Rt. 62) and
Demorest Road, has been rescheduled to February 16 due to poor weather
conditions that have complicated water line construction.
“Weather
permitting, Clime Road
will be closed for the replacement of the culvert over a tributary to Big Run,
located just east of Fall Brook Road, on or about February 16,” said Dean
Ringle. “The installation of a new concrete box structure, as well as storm
sewer and water line work are part of the first phase of the over-all widening
and reconstruction of Clime Road.”
The
posted detour route for westbound motorists will follow Harrisburg Pike north to
Briggs Road, west
to Demorest Road, and south to Clime Road. Eastbound traffic will follow the
detour in the opposite direction.
In
addition to the culvert, storm sewer, and water line work, Clime Road
improvements include reconstruction and widening of the roadway to accommodate
east and westbound lanes, a center turn lane, and two bike lanes; construction
of curbing, gutters, driveway aprons, and sidewalks; and installation of new
street lighting and traffic signage.
The
Franklin County Engineer’s Office is supervising the building of this $7.9
million project by George J. Igel & Company. Funding is being provided by
the Federal Highway Administration and the Ohio Public Works Commission through
the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission.
Completion
of the
Clime Road
widening and reconstruction project is scheduled for August 2010.
