Special to 1808Delaware

From the City of Delaware, shared on Wednesday:

Here is an update on the Point Project including upcoming changes to the traffic pattern. During the week of 9/8/24, US36/SR37 traffic will be switched to the south side of the road so that work can take place on the north side. One lane of traffic in each direction will be maintained between the railroad bridge and SR 521. This change in traffic pattern will continue through Spring 2025.

During this phase, the Bowtown Road intersection at US 36/SR 37 will be closed. Access to Bowtown (including all intersecting streets and driveways) will be maintained from SR 521.

Steel girders for the temporary railroad bridge will be installed the nights of Tuesday 9/10/24 through Thursday 9/12/24. Between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. each night, 36/37 traffic will be stopped completely for 15-minute intervals while the steel girders are put in place over the roadway. After each 15-minute traffic stoppage, 36/37 traffic will be opened back up and all traffic will be cleared prior to the next 15-minute stoppage.

Work began in spring 2023 and should be finished in summer 2026, a revised completion date due to delays obtaining Norfolk Southern Railway approvals during construction.

A project webpage can be accessed going to www.delawareohio.net/pointproject. The webpage includes a live video feed and project information. Information on this page will be updated, as needed, and updates will also appear on the City’s Access Delaware Facebook page. If you have any questions, please email [email protected]
