Northeast Gateway Project
Huntley - Wilson Bridge - Worthington-Galena Realignment Project
The City of Worthington is collaborating with the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) and the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) to improve congestion and traffic flow at the intersection of Huntley Road / Wilson Bridge Road / Worthington-Galena Road, which is also known as the "Northeast Gateway." Funding for the project will be provided through a combination of MORPC Attributable Funds, The Ohio Public Works Commission, and local dollars.
What is Happening with the Project Now?
The project is now underway! Work is completed to relocate a 12 inch waterline on Huntley Road and preliminary utility work continues. Columbia Gas and other utilities will be relocating lines this summer. No road closures are expected during utility relocation but there may be some temporary lane closures or adjustments.
Once the utility work is finished, the road construction crews are expected to start work in September 2020. Currently, work is expected to take place through 2022.
Right-of-way Acquisition
Since March of 2018, staff has been working with a team of right-of-way acquisition professionals from ODOT, TranSystems, Frost Brown Todd and local utility companies. All of the land needed to relocate the existing roadways and build new ones has been acquired and existing structures have been demolished in advance of construction.
