ONE LINDEN

To comply with federal requirements, we are replacing our gas lines within the Linden and Clintonville communities. There will be minimal direct impact to Columbia Gas customers. Pipeline construction may affect traffic throughout the duration of the project, as most work will be done in the road right-of-way. We ask all motorists to be patient and be respectful of all work zone directives.

Hudson St. will be fully reconstructed and repaved for a safer, smoother drive; and a shared- use path will be built to make it safer for people to walk and ride their bicycles. Other improvements include new curbs and sidewalks, streetlights and trees, traffic signals and upgraded water lines.

The Columbus Department of Public Service is building seven new enhanced crosswalks on Cleveland Avenue, while the Franklin County Engineer’s Office will install 5 more between Huy and Melrose. Each crosswalk will include a push-button system with flashing lights to alert drivers to pedestrians. Sidewalks will be temporarily closed during construction, so pedestrians should exercise caution. Drivers must drive slowly and watch for pedestrians stepping into the street. For safety, pedestrians should wait for red lights to cross Cleveland Avenue and always look both ways.

ODOT District 6 and the City of Columbus propose improvements at the Cleveland Avenue and Hudson Street intersection in Linden, Columbus. Plans include adding turn lanes, widening Cleveland Avenue to ODOT standards, and installing new traffic signals. The project may require acquiring right-of-way, affecting buildings and businesses, and involves constructing a storm sewer system and updating drainage infrastructure to meet current design standards.
