Delving Deeper into the Route 23 Connect Study
The primary focus of these meetings is to shed light on improvements along the U.S. 23 corridor, a topic of great significance to local communities. This study is set to conceive options that harmonize efficient travel times on U.S. 23 and maximize U.S. 23’s potential. The findings from the study will shape an action plan tailored to address the specific areas that demand attention and development.
ODOT welcomes questions, comments, and feedback on the study. They’ve set a deadline of December 15 for the public to submit their comments during this phase of the study.
