Ohio Department of Transportation officials are continuing to gather community input on their plan to improve traffic at the I-77/U.S. 250/state Route 39 intersection.
The proposal includes a pair of roundabouts, including one at Blue Bell Drive.
ODOT will host an open house on the project on Tuesday, June 30th, from 4 to 7 p.m. at Buckeye Career Center’s Joe Carlisle Café.
The public is asked to attend the Open House and provide feedback regarding the Preferred Alternatives. Comments regarding the project may be submitted at the open house, on the PID 122790 website through the comment submittal form, or by direct contact. Comments received by July 30, 2026, will be included in the official project documentation.
