LIMA, OH (CRAWFORD COUNTY NOW)—The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is inviting the public to a meeting to review and provide feedback on proposed safety improvements at the U.S. 23 and State Route 294 intersection, located east of the village of Harpster in Pitt Township, Wyandot County.
Meeting Details:
- Date: Thursday, September 19
- Time: 6-8 p.m.
- Location: Upper Sandusky High School Auditorium, 800 N. Sandusky Avenue
The meeting will commence with a brief presentation, followed by an open house period where attendees can interact with the project team and review exhibits.
The proposed project involves constructing a full diamond interchange at the U.S. 23/State Route 294 intersection. A preliminary alignment has been designed and will be presented at the public meeting. ODOT is seeking public input before advancing the layout into detailed design.
While the exact construction timeline is yet to be determined, it could begin as early as 2027.
In 2018, ODOT conducted a comprehensive study to enhance safety at the at-grade intersections along the U.S. 23 corridor. Based on the study’s findings, ODOT is moving forward with the recommended construction of an interchange to significantly improve intersection safety.
Currently, studies are ongoing to assess the project’s impact on the environment, utilities, and adjacent properties.
