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.

It’s National Work Zone Awareness Week. Every cone, sign, and barrel represents people working to improve the roads and bridges we all rely on. Slow down, stay alert, put distractions away, and give crews the space they need to work safely. Together, we can help everyone get home safely. #NWZAW

Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming the all R friends community group to our facility. They visited to personally thank our Snow Fighters for their hard work this winter, helping keep the traveling public safe. The group presented a beautiful thank-you banner and spent time touring our facility and learning more about what we do each day. It was a meaningful visit and a great reminder of the impact our team has on the community we serve. Thank you, All R Friends, for your kindness and for taking the time to recognize our Snow Fighters. We truly appreciate it!

April is Ohio Native Plant Month! Native plants play an important role in supporting local ecosystems, improving water quality, and managing stormwater, key components of the work we do every day. Incorporating native vegetation along roadways, in drainage areas, and around infrastructure helps create more sustainable and resilient communities across Franklin County.

The Franklin County Road Map can be obtained, free of charge, through the Engineer’s Offices and at various county, municipal, township, and state facilities. Our Surveying Department has gathered information from numerous public entities such as the Franklin County Auditor’s Office, Metro Parks, Ohio Department of Transportation, and City of Columbus to create the most accurate and comprehensive road map. About 1,250 changes were made to our land and highway record data base since the publication of the 2009 edition.

The five-color 44-inch wide and 37-inch tall road map shows over 12,000 public roads, which are listed in the street locator index, and the locations of 1,000 points of interest such as airports, fire departments, government buildings, high schools, hospitals, police departments, post offices, shopping centers, and universities. Also shown are regional street address numbers that are useful in locating specific addresses.

For more information about the road map, or to suggest revisions, please contact Ben McCown, GIS Manager.
