ODOT Public Open House meeting - Gender Rd. bridge
An open house public meeting is scheduled for Thursday, February 19 from 5:00 – 7:00 PM in City Hall Council Chambers (45 E. Waterloo, Canal Winchester, OH 43110) to share information on a project proposed by ODOT.
Ohio Department of Transportation - Columbus District 6 is proposing a full replacement of the two-lane State Route (SR) 674/Gender Road bridge over Little Walnut Creek in Canal Winchester, Franklin County, Ohio. The proposed project would widen the new bridge to provide an 8-foot sidewalk on one side to allow for a future pedestrian path along the east side of Gender Road. The number of lanes on the bridge will remain unchanged, with one lane in each direction.
Construction will require a closure of the bridge for approximately 90 days, with posted detours. Work is tentatively scheduled to begin in 2028, and the estimated project cost is $4.69 million. Additional notifications will be provided prior to construction.
No presentation will be given during the open house meeting, but the public is welcome to come and provide comments.
Comments may also be submitted via email, phone, or mail to:
