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

This project is included in the City of Delaware's fiscal years 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). As of December 4, 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 Point" intersection is located at the location where US 36 and SR 37 converge on the east side of City, immediately west of the Norfolk Southern railroad overpass. The skewed alignment of the two roads, compounded by the narrow two-lane passage below the rail bridge restricting traffic to a single lane in each direction, limit the overall intersection capacity to manage current and anticipated future traffic loading. On average, 25,000 vehicles a day pass below the bridge, with traffic models projecting that number to increase to almost 40,000 vehicles a day by 2040. Traffic congestion and lengthy backups are routine during morning and afternoon peak-hour traffic conditions. In 2009, the City reconfigured the intersection slightly, relocating the signal further west on US 36 and realigning SR 37 to the new location. The improvement provided immediate relief to westbound traffic congestion and delay; however, modelling predicated that increasing eastbound traffic congestion was anticipated within seven to ten years as traffic volumes continued to increase in the area. This project will relieve congestion and increase safety along US 36 and SR 37 by increasing the number of vehicular lanes beneath the Norfolk Southern Railroad bridge allowing for two lanes of travel in each direction beneath the railroad. The widened bridge will eliminate the notorious westbound merge on US 36 as vehicles approach the bridge. Eastbound traffic flow will benefit immediately from this improvement as dual through-lanes are established on both SR 37 and US 36 approaching the intersection adding significantly improved intersection capacity. Shared use paths connecting the east side of the community to the Glenwood Commons commercial center are also included as part of the overall improvement. Additional improvements at the US 36 with SR 521 intersection are included to address intersection safety and congestion issues there, as well. *Project information, including timeline and contacts, has been obtained through public sources.
