US Route 33 Corridor Project

US 33 Corridor Map

In November 2001, a comprehensive U.S. 33 Access Management Study was initiated to identify feasible and prudent alternatives to eliminate the existing at-grade intersections along this corridor.  Various stakeholders of the community participated in this study to help ODOT develop proposed projects that were presented for public review and comment.  As a result of numerous meetings with the stakeholders along with the public involvement process, five projects were identified that would eliminate the intersecting roadways along U.S. 33:

• Ebright Road overpass
  (open to traffic 2007)

• Bixby Road interchange
  (under development earliest possible construction 2012)

• Winchester Road “Carroll-area” interchange
  (under development but not scheduled for construction)

• High Street/Bowen Road overpass
  (not scheduled)

• Pickerington Road interchange
  (not scheduled)

When all of the proposed projects are complete, at an estimated total of $145 million, this 12-mile stretch of roadway will be a limited-access highway with interchanges and overpasses instead of intersections.  ODOT will partner with local officials to apply for right-of-way and construction funding for these projects.
