Site work and paving for a road / highway in Dublin, Ohio. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway.

This project is included in the City of Dublin's fiscal years 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). As of November 30, 2023, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified. A firm timeline for construction has not been established; however, funding is allotted to fiscal year 2024. A detailed scope has not yet been released. The 2016 Ohio University Framework Plan for the Dublin Campus is a vision plan that creates a vibrant community and enables a mixed-use environment that includes a pedestrian-friendly, walkable campus district that can be implemented in phases. To support this vision, this project develops the Phase 1 street and utility infrastructure necessary to accommodate the development contemplated on the east side of the current campus. Phase 1 develops approximately 900feet of Main Street, south of the current Post Road/SR 161 roundabout, realigns approximately 2100-feet of Eiterman Road and buries overhead utilities. The project assumes no right-of-way acquisition funding is needed since the surrounding land is owned by Dublin or OU. The project is located between the current OU Dublin Campus and US 33, south of Post Road/SR 161, and north of South Fork Indian Run and is within the West Innovation District near the Ohio University campus. This project is being brought forward to satisfy the terms contained in the 2021 First Amendment to Economic Development Agreement with Ohio University, and provides for completing detailed design in late 2023 and construction beginning in 2024. Ohio University is actively conducting the master-planning efforts for the Dublin campus. Recent conversations with Ohio University staff indicate they are looking for the roadway and infrastructure improvements to be completed as funding allows them to support campus expansion needs. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
