Our duties include scoping, reviewing, and bidding the designs of Franklin County’s Roadway Capital Improvement Projects; coordinating, reviewing, and approving Private Development and Outside Government Agency plans that impact Franklin County Right-of-Way; maintaining and updating Franklin County’s Roadway Design Standards; and in-house designing of construction and right-of-way plans for township and maintenance improvement projects. We collaborate with the public, government agencies, engineering consultants, and private developers to determine roadway design solutions that improve the safety and capacity of Franklin County roadways and intersections. As Franklin County grows, we strive to enhance the quality of life and environment of Franklin County constituents by creating a durable and integrated highway system that prioritizes safety, efficiency, and prosperity for all road users.
