Attention all commuters in the Morse Road and Reynoldsburg-New Albany Road area: prepare to adjust your travel routes next week. Starting Monday, September 8, there will be no going 'round the roundabout. According to a City of Gahanna alert, the intersection will be closed for resurfacing work, courtesy of the Franklin County Engineer’s Office. The project, dependent on cooperative weather, is slated to wrap up briskly within five days.
Detours have been meticulously laid out to navigate around the construction gridlock. Eastbound motorists on Morse Road will have to rattle slightly northbound on Johnstown Road, trade eastbound again on Granville Street, and shimmy south down Babbitt Road to circle back to Morse Road. The westbound traffic is expected to follow the posted detour, only in the mirror image. For the north-south travelers on Reynoldsburg-New Albany Road, your detoured path will weave east on Clark State Road, point your steering wheel north on Babbitt Road, before swinging west onto Dublin-Granville Road, and finally, stitching back to Reynoldsburg-New Albany Road.
The City of Gahanna beseeches the public to stay tuned for updates, but urges that all queries regarding the resurfacing work be directed towards the Franklin County Engineer’s Office, which can be contacted at (614) 525-3030. This office is the maestro of the roundabout's temporary coda and the return to its usual, circular symphony of traffic.
