Pedestrian projects to begin next week in Columbus

Construction will start next week on two pedestrian projects in Columbus.

According to the city engineers office, on Wednesday work will start on a new shared use path on the north side of 27th Street between Washington Street and Home Avenue. Intermittent and short-term closures of 27th Street will be ongoing.

Construction is expected to be completed in the fall, weather permitting.

All Star paving is the contractor for that project.

Also on Wednesday, work is expected to start on a new sidewalk on the west side of Marr Road from 25th Street to 32nd Street. Construction is expected to be completed mid-summer.

Force Construction is the contractor for the Marr Road project.

You could see delays if you are travelling in those areas. The work schedule is dependent on the weather.

Officials ask for you to use extra caution if you have to travel in those areas and to obey all posted signs.
