Explanation
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) intends to resurface a portion of U. S. Route 23D (Third Street) within the City of Columbus as part of its Urban Pavement Program. Project limits extend on US23D from south of the bridge over Nationwide Boulevard/Naughten Street to the junction of Fulton Street. The project proposes to perform partial depth asphalt repairs, plane and resurface pavement with asphalt concrete and replace pavement markings and loop detectors.
