Explanation
BACKGROUND: This is legislation with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for a project to reconstruct and realign the overpass at Ebright Road and U.S. Route 33. Ebright Road will be improved within the City of Columbus, Franklin County for approximately 2900' near its current intersection with U.S. Route 33 in Franklin County. Approximately 1600' of the improvement to Ebright Road falls within the City of Columbus. The cost to the city is due to the relocation of its water lines which the Division of Water is funding.
