The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), via a $26.1 million construction project, is rehabilitating a 17-mi. stretch of I-675 by repairing sections of pavement and resurfacing three lanes of highway in each direction. The work takes place between Wilmington Pike at the Montgomery/Greene County Line and the Col. Glenn Highway interchange. John R. Jurgensen Company and the Complete General Construction Company (JRJ and CGC) also are rehabilitating 40 bridges along the mainline and seven overpasses
between the Montgomery County line and the Clark County line. Additional elements include bridge painting and deck sealing. The scoping and development process for the I-675 rehabilitation began in the summer of 2016, and construction started in January 2020. Funded with state and federal monies, the entire project is scheduled to be completed in summer 2022, although the final surface course of asphalt and permanent striping is expected to be completed by fall 2021. “With one of the nation’s largest interstate systems and bridge inventories, Ohio has one of the state’s most valuable physical assets — its
transportation network — and preservation of our infrastructure is necessary to support this network both regionally and globally,” said Kathleen Fuller, public information officer, ODOT District 8. “Projects such as this serve to preserve the existing system of roads and bridges and in turn, improve safety, thereby fulfilling the department’s mission of providing safe and easy movement of people and goods from place to place.” This section of I-675 was originally constructed in 1987 and carries approximately 50,000 vehicles daily. There have been several projects over the years that have ranged from see ODOT page 6
