Franklin County Engineer

As a local public works agency headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, the Franklin County Engineer's Office is responsible for the maintenance and construction of 271 miles of county roadway and 351 county bridges, as well as upkeep of all county ditches, drains, retention basins, and other storm water facilities within the right-of-way of county roads in unincorporated areas. To meet the continuing development and infrastructure needs of Franklin County, the Engineer's Office utilizes the latest technologies for determining and maintaining roadway centerlines and boundaries; retracing and setting new monuments for original public land surveys; preparing geographic information system mapping for real estate tax assessments; and establishing precise countywide horizontal and vertical control to maintain uniformity in construction, surveying, and mapping.

Engineering in action starts here! We’re excited to host the Central Ohio Miniature Bridge Building Competition at our West Maintenance Facility on Friday, February 20, 2026, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. High school students from across Central Ohio will put their engineering skills to the test, designing, building, and live-testing miniature bridges using identical materials. We’re looking forward to an inspiring day of creativity, teamwork, and innovation.

The roads, bridges, and infrastructure we rely on every day were built by generations of skilled workers, many whose names never appeared on blueprints or signs. This Black History Month, we acknowledge the contributions of engineers, laborers, surveyors, and maintenance crews whose work helped shape America’s transportation system and strengthen our communities.

This roundabout is another example of how intersection improvements can positively impact safety. Crash data shows reduced incidents and zero injuries after construction, results that reflect the benefits of modern traffic design. As we head into construction season, these success stories help illustrate why roundabouts remain a valuable safety tool.
