The Ohio Department of Transportation has set out to answer a question which tens of thousands of Delaware Countians – and those in Marion County north – ask on a regular basis.

Is there a way to improve traffic flow on US Route 23 as it goes through Delaware County?

ODOT and partners MORPC and the Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments have set out to determine the feasibility of a non-impeded connection between Toledo and Columbus, the sole bottleneck of which is between Waldo in Marion County and I270 in Franklin County.

A key piece in this is the Delaware Regional Connection Study, which will look at options, including those to the east and west of the current path of US Route 23. It’s known as “Route 23 Connect.”

Virtual public meetings will take place this July, followed by another later in the year and one in 2022. In a similar fashion, surveys are being conducted in the same intervals.

The first survey is now available and is designed to be answered by those who travel, live, and/or work along the corridor.

To do so, visit this link and then click on “Survey.”

A single page overview of the Delaware Regional Connection Study can be found below.
