HOW IT WORKS

This site is a self-guided tour through a series of tabs highlighting options under consideration. Opportunities are provided throughout for you to provide feedback and share your comments.  Your input will be used to guide decision-making and identify preferred design alternatives. This virtual Open House will be open for comment 24 hours a day for 45 days, until February 5, 2024.

Begin by reviewing the Project Overview discussion in the section below. To advance between tabs, click on the green Continue button located at the bottom of the page. You can also move between pages by clicking the tabs located at the top of the discussion section. If you would like to view larger versions of any of the graphics, simply click on the image. Copies of project materials are posted under the Documents section, located on the right-hand side of the screen.

If you need interpretation or translation services or other reasonable accommodations to participate in this virtual Open House, review materials, or provide comment, please contact Anthony Pankala, ODOT Environmental Engineer, at (513) 933-6640 or Anthony.Pankala@dot.ohio.gov.
