The Delaware County Engineer’s Office has published a list of road and transportation-related projects across the county which are scheduled to be done in the 2021-2022 construction season.
Due to limited space, projects under $250,000 or with road closures less than two weeks are not listed. For road construction projects located on State or U.S. routes, or within city limits, please visit www.pavingtheway.org.
