Project Information:

Planned improvements to the intersection of State Route 3 and Lewis Center Road will include:

Schedule:

Design:  2022-25

Right of way purchase:  2025

Utility relocation:  2026

Construction:  Spring to fall 2026

Maintaining Traffic During Construction:

Construction will take about 8 months from start to finish. 

Two-way traffic on State Route 3 will be maintained for the duration of the project with construction on the east and west sides done sequentially.

One-way westbound traffic will be maintained on Lewis Center Road west of SR 3 during widening work over a period of about 3 months.  Eastbound traffic on Lewis Center will be detoured at the Worthington Road roundabout.  Traffic may use Plumb Road or Big Walnut Road as alternates to reach SR 3.

Lewis Center Road east of SR 3 will close to both directions of traffic for about 2 months to replace a large culvert and widen for turn lanes approaching SR 3.  Traffic may use Plumb Road or Big Walnut Road as alternates to reach SR 3.
