In 2022, ODOT finalized a comprehensive Feasibility Study to improve safety on the U.S. 30 corridor. Between 2016-2022, the corridor had eight intersection related fatal crashes. Based on the study's recommendations, three projects are moving forward with funding from the Ohio Highway Safety Improvement Program. The details for each are below:

Right-of-way and property acquisition:
Permanent and temporary (just for construction) right-of-way will likely be needed for construction of the projects. If right-of-way acquisition is necessary from your property, a real estate representative will contact you directly at a later date to discuss the right-of-way needs, the acquisition process, and your rights under that process.
Environmental impacts:
Currently, studies are ongoing to determine the impacts the project will have on the environment, utilities, and adjacent properties. Impacts to wetlands and the removal of some trees may occur. If impacted, necessary waterway permitting will be obtained and tree removal will occur between October 1 and March 31 to protect possibly present threatened and endangered bat species during their summer roosting period.
