I-71/Socialville-Foster/Innovation Way Project Update

ODOT's District 8 office reports that night pile driving work on this project could conclude as early as this week, however, it's more likely to finish up sometime next week.  Night work will continue after the piling driving is complete, however, the intensity of the work should be significantly less than pile driving.

Further, various lane closures on Interstate 71 at the Socialville-Fosters bridge will continue to occur nightly between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. in the coming weeks.  The detour remains in place and daytime work involving the bridge widening, sidewalk/bike path, Columbia Road traffic signal improvements and the Innovation Way roundabout continues to move forward.

Interested persons who wish to be notified when updates are sent out should email this address: d08.pio@dot.ohio.gov, and ask to be included on ODOT's distribution list for this project (identify it in the email's subject line). 

ODOT sincerely thanks area residents, businesses, and motorists for their patience and understanding in tolerating the inconvenience and intensity of this important work.
