ODOT Public Meeting to Discuss Improvements to US Route 30
By Aaron Hines
The Ohio Department of Transportation District 3 will host a public meeting to discuss the proposed eastern portion of the US 30 major rehabilitation project in Mansfield, Ohio.
The project is intended to improve pavement conditions and improve safety on US 30 from SR 13 to Fifth Avenue. The project will remove the existing interchange at SR 13 and SR 545 and provide a new US 30 Interchange, a new North-South Connector Road and a new East-West Connector Road, as well as provide safe access for residents and businesses to and from US 30. The project team is currently evaluating connector road alternatives at SR 13 to accomplish these goals and would appreciate your feedback.
In addition to evaluating the SR 13 connector road alternatives, the project team is considering traffic control options at the new US 30 Interchange and SR 13 Connector Road. Your input will assist ODOT in determining which options to carry forward. The project will be funded by state and federal funds administered by ODOT, with construction tentatively planned to start in 2020.
The meeting will be held Wednesday, February 22, 2016 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the United Steelworkers Union Hall in Mansfield. The meeting will be an open house format. During the open house, you may visit at any time to talk one-on-one with members of the project team, view exhibits, ask questions and express any comments or concerns you have about the project.
