Chesapeake Bypass Phase 2 — $128.5 Project Under Way By Cindy Riley
With a goal of easing traffic congestion and improving mobility along the S.R. 7 corridor, construction crews in Ohio continue their work on Phase 2 of the Chesapeake Bypass. The $128.5 million effort follows Phase 1 work, which was completed and opened to traffic in 2006. “The project has a long and complex history, including the acquisition of right-of-way, completion of environmental studies and extensive engineering work,” said Tom Barnitz, Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) project manager. “Over the years, the district consistently advocated for the completion of the new alignment, maintaining momentum until the right opportunity emerged to move forward.”
