The 11 traffic signals included in the project involve the Ohio 747 intersections at:
- Devitt Drive
- Duff Road
- Provident Drive
- Muhlhauser Road
- Rialto Road
- Port Union Road
- Union Centre Boulevard
- Beckett Town Center
- Smith Road
- Hutzleman Way
- Tylersville Road
“The intersecting streets will experience slightly longer wait times because of the adjusted timing, but we don’t anticipate significant access issues,” Campbell said.
Average daily traffic volumes along Ohio 747 in this area are between 20,000 and 26,000, according to ODOT.
The new timing devices will be installed Oct. 17. Each of the 11 intersections will be set on flash mode for five to 10 minutes to complete the work. Motorists should be alert when driving through the intersections.
The timing will be fine-tuned over several weeks after installation to adjust for newly created traffic patterns, according to ODOT.
The project is estimated to cost $35,000.
