The Highway Management department is the front line of ODOT and encompasses the majority of the activities, employees and dollars expended from maintenance operations such as snow and ice control in the winter to major highway construction in the summer. 

The following areas play a major role in the Highway Management Department:

Construction is responsible for contract administration pertaining to all work performed on our highways, not completed by ODOT forces.

County Maintenance crews are responsible for the maintenance of the state highway system within their county. District 3 serves the counties of Ashland, Crawford, Erie, Huron, Lorain, Medina, Richland, and Wayne.

Testing supervises the operation, personnel and testing activity of the Bituminous Concrete and Aggregate Laboratory and field Bituminous Concrete Laboratories at producers’ plants during the production of material for state projects.

Roadway Services is the support group for Highway Management. This area includes the District Garage and Traffic. The District Garage is responsible for the maintenance of the district's vehicles and machinery.  The Traffic Department provides the traveling public with a safe and efficient highway system by maintaining signals, signs, determining speed limits and inspecting the safety of intersections throughout the District.
