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

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 2028. A detailed scope has not yet been released. State Route 37 (East Central Avenue) needs full-depth pavement reconstruction between US 23 and the Point. Improvements to this corridor are a third component of overall east side improvements, which have included the East William Street Widening and Point projects. In 2020, the City was not successful in pursuing ODOT safety and MORPC attributable funds for a large project that would have included pavement reconstruction and a new intersection at SR 37 and US 42 (Lake Street). In 2022, these improvements were split into two projects, and the City was awarded MORPC grant funding for the SR 37 Preservation Project, while funding was not awarded for a separate Central/Lake intersection project. The proposed preservation project will completely reconstruct the pavement, add pedestrian facilities, add stormwater drainage facilities, and make improvements to sanitary sewer and drinking water infrastructure between Lake Street and The Point. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
