COLUMBUS, Ohio – The latest phase of the High Street resurfacing project in downtown Columbus will impact the intersection of S. High Street and Mound Street, city officials say.
There will be various lane restrictions on southbound High Street at Mound Street for approximately two weeks, according to the Department of Public Service.
Additional work will take place on the brick crosswalks located on the east side of N. High Street at Long Street from 7:00 p.m. on Friday until 5:00 a.m. on Monday.
One lane of traffic will be maintained in each direction on North High Street. Long Street will be closed immediately east of N. High Street. Gay Street can be used as a detour while pedestrians are detoured to the west side of High Street.
The project to resurface High Street between Nationwide Boulevard and Fulton Street will reconstruct handicap-access curb ramps and repair brick crosswalks in intersections along High Street and install new audible pedestrian signals at intersections.
Crews will keep at least one lane of traffic open in each direction on High Street throughout the project. Short-term sidewalk closures near curb ramp and intersection brick repair work will be required. Most of the brick crosswalk repair will occur on weekends or during night hours. Some side street closures are expected on weekends only.
Pedestrians should not pass sidewalk closure signs or walk in the street to avoid a sidewalk detour.
