ODOT proposes new Cadiz sidewalk

NEW PHILADELPHIA – The Ohio Department of Transportation District 11 and the Village of Cadiz propose to install a new sidewalk along the east side of U.S. Route 250/state Route 9, between the U.S. Route 22 eastbound on/ off ramp and Stanton Avenue, in the Village of Cadiz, Harrison County.

Placing new sidewalk on the east side of the roadway will link the existing sidewalk, south of the project area, to commercial businesses and a portion of existing sidewalk within the project area, while also enhancing safety and visibility of pedestrians and addressing ADA compliance issues and improvements to the storm sewer. With this project, no ecological resources will be impacted. Cultural (historic) resource impacts are not anticipated. Regulated material impacts are unknown at this time. Utility relocations are expected. The project will not involve work within a FEMA-designated floodplain.

New right of way will be required to facilitate construction, which is estimated to begin in the spring of 2025 and last approximately five months. Traffic will be maintained with the part-width construction technique.

ODOT is seeking comments from the public about the social, environmental, and economic impacts of this proposed action. Environmental impacts include those associated with historical archeological or architectural resources, ecological resources, hazardous materials, and/or any general concerns regarding the project.

Written comments concerning the project may be submitted via the link below or mailed to the Ohio Department of Transporta -
