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 will extend Merrick Parkway from its current eastern terminus to Troy Road (length of roughly 1900 LF). The intersection of Merrick & Troy could be a conventional intersection with turn lanes or a modern roundabout which could provide traffic calming along Troy Road where vehicle speeds are generally higher than the posted speed limit of 35 MPH. The extension will provide access for multiple residents of the subdivisions that exist to the west and the many hundreds more from residential growth planned adjacent to this extension and west of Troy Road. A traffic study commenced in 2021 to determine if Merrick Parkway should be extended east of Troy Road to US23, crossing the existing railroad. The conclusions of this study will be available at the end of 2021. The project was estimated to cost $2.4M but could be higher if related improvements are included as part of the effort including improving the safety of the sharp curve located just south of the proposed Merrick intersection. This project is in included in the City of Delaware FY 2022- 2026 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
