Orange Twp. receives ODOT request to close two US 30 intersections
UPDATED with minutes from the June 11 meeting.
EXCERPT FROM MINUTES__On June 11, Hancock County Engineer Doug Cade informed the Trustees that ODOT had been in contact with him about a proposed US 30 overpass on CR 15 (Between CR 1 and CR 304). This overpass was initiated due to a recent fatality at that intersection. As part of the proposed overpass at CR 15 ODOT proposes to close TR 51 and TR 52 access to US 30. Note: ODOT can close the median (make right-turn-only access to US 30) but can't close the road access (put in a cul-de-sac) unless the township agrees to the closure. Orange Township will need to respond to ODOT's TR51 and TR52 closure proposal (answer to Doug Cade) by August 1.
