South Gilmore Road Improvements Project (BUT-TR99-0.50, PID 114393)
City of Fairfield and ODOT Seek Public Comment
This project is a proposal to widen a key section of South Gilmore Road between Flaig Drive and Resor Road. The project will construct a new lane southbound on South Gilmore Road, remove the merge on southbound South Gilmore Road north of Resor Road, implement a raised median and left turn lanes, construct sidewalk on both sides of the road (all the way to Planet Drive on the west side), and improve the existing traffic signal at Resor Road. With these additions, safety and capacity on South Gilmore Road will be improved and planned development along the corridor will be accommodated. The City has secured funding from the Ohio Kentucky Indiana Regional Council of Governments for up to 70% of the construction of this multi-million dollar improvement. Construction is expected to begin in the spring of 2024 and finish by the end of 2024.
What is the Project?
This project will widen and resurface South Gilmore Road between Flaig Drive and Resor Road to provide two travel lanes in each direction, and a center median/turn lane. The roadway will be widened through the intersection with Resor Road to eliminate the existing southbound merge that occurs to the north. The existing traffic signal infrastructure will be upgraded at the intersection, and signal timing will be optimized. New sidewalks will be provided with the project; these will be from Flaig Drive to Planet Drive on the west and from Mack Road to Resor Road on the east. Minor utility relocations will be required to accommodate the proposed improvements. Temporary easements are anticipated from approximately 17 parcels and permanent right-of-way is anticipated from approximately 2 parcels.
