The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) District 7 is seeking public input on a series of upcoming infrastructure projects that will reshape the state's roadways. On the agenda are interchange improvements, intersection upgrades, and a significant bridge rehabilitation effort—moves designed not only for the enhancement of traffic flow but also for bolstering safety measures.
A significant update comes for the AUG-U.S. 33 at IR 75 Interchange Improvements project, PID 118055. A roundabout will replace the current configuration at the I-75 northbound exit ramp at US 33, a decision made after ODOT reviewed comments from the public. Construction is slated to commence in Spring 2026. After visiting the Project Page for PID 118055, stakeholders can download informative materials, including a project brochure and a guide to navigating roundabouts.
Concerns about high crash rates at the intersection of US Route 36 and State Route 721 have prompted ODOT to propose converting the currently two-way stop-controlled intersection to a roundabout, under the MIA/DAR-U.S. 36 at SR 721 Intersection Improvements project, PID 118070. Set to break ground in Spring 2027, the online presentation detailing the proposed upgrades can be accessed on the aforementioned project's page.
The Garnsey Street Bridge over the Great Miami River in the City of Piqua will also see major improvements. Entrusted to the Miami County Engineer, the bridge will undergo a rehabilitation that includes painting structural steel and replacing the existing concrete bridge deck. Approaching the bridge that is scheduled to begin in July 2026, the project is expected to be completed within 12 months. For detailed information on this project, which falls under PID 121206, the public can download files via ODOT's website.
