Site work and paving for a road / highway in Delaware, Ohio. Design 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 1, 2023, design is being handled in-house. 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 annual resurfacing program is established to maintain the current street network within the City. The City of Delaware currently maintains a 194-mile street network, which is one of the most significant assets owned by this City. Currently 195 public streets are in need of resurfacing at an estimated cost of $23 million. However, most of the available funds continue to be directed toward our Arterial and Collector streets as they carry much higher traffic volumes, leaving little funding available for residential streets. A sustainable pavement maintenance program requires the resurfacing of an estimated 9.9 miles of streets on an annual basis at a cost of $3.3 million in annual funding. Recently ODOT has limited its contribution toward resurfacing of the State and US routes effectively doubling the local funding share in these efforts and transfers the responsibility of plan development and project administration to the City. This further reduces funding available for local street resurfacing, including available funds for OPWC grant match, and adds significant work for the limited staff of the Public Works department assigned to roadway maintenance. With adjustments to the schedule for when state routes are resurfaced, the City needs to establish a $650,000 annual Urban Paving contribution to be able to meet the local match requirement for each year a state route is paved. *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.
