Construction is scheduled to continue during the coming months on three new roundabouts as part of the Cosgray Road extension, which will provide access to the new Hilliard Recreation and Wellness Campus.
Beginning Monday, Aug. 19, the traffic signal at the intersection of Cosgray and Scioto Darby roads will be removed, and the traffic pattern will be converted to right-in/right-out for the next phase of construction.
This means no left turns can be made to or from Cosgray Road at Scioto Darby Road.
Eastbound and westbound traffic on Scioto Darby Road will continue. Eastbound traffic will be pushed onto the outside of the new roundabout circle. Westbound traffic will continue to use the existing pavement north of the circle.
Drivers will also be able to turn right onto Cosgray Road northbound from westbound Scioto Darby Road. Southbound traffic on Cosgray Road will be able to turn right on Scioto Darby Road (but not left).
The detour for left-turn traffic is Leppert Road to Hayden Road to Cosgray Road, and vice versa.
The temporary traffic change will allow crews to build the east and west medians, as well as the central island of the roundabout.
This phase of construction is expected to last until mid to late September.
When completed, this project will include a new crosswalk with flashing beacons to access the Darby Town center businesses, raised crosswalks to slow speeds and increase pedestrian safety, and connection to more than two miles of new trails built within The Well campus.
Landscaping and stormwater management solutions will be added, as well as street lighting, shared-use paths, fiber conduit, and enhanced sidewalk and trail connections to adjacent neighborhoods.
Access to businesses within the Darby Town Center remains open; however, cut-through traffic is prohibited.
