With all the increased growth in Jerome Township, i.e. FedEx warehouse and several new home developments, have any proposals been set forth to relieve the congestion on Highway 42 and Industrial Parkway such as adding turning lanes?
Larry, in the past year or so there have been a number of ‘modifications’ under consideration for that intersection by the Ohio and Union County Departments of Transportation. A nearby municipality proposed a ’roundabout’ solution, but thankfully, this proposal was roundly deemed ‘unsuitable’!
As it now stands, there is a proposal to add an additional lane to the exit from 33 to 42 that would aid northbound traffic on 42 and a traffic signal to allow ‘left turning traffic’ to enter 42 southbound.
At 42 & Industrial, the intersection will gain ‘turn-lanes’ and additional ‘traffic signals’ that will communicate with the new signal just North of the overpass to aid in traffic flow.
As a possible help to get this improvement moving is a ‘reported’ $750,000 infrastructure contribution from the FedEx folks should their project be approved.
As for a ‘start date’…..hopefully later 2018!? I will get with a source for updated info.
