Greene County US42

Feasibility Study

Overview

This federally-funded study conducted the necessary planning, environmental analyses and preliminary engineering to address safety concerns for motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists as well as a general concern about access to the U.S. 42 within the Wilberforce/Central State communities. Following Steps 1-4 of ODOT's 10-Step Project Development Process for Minor Projects, the study recommended a package of solutions that will provide safety, access and utility for the needs of motorists, communities, and other interested parties.

Study Purpose

The Greene County 42 Feasibility Study is to:

  • Determine potential options for improving U.S. 42 within the Wilberforce University and Central State University communities.
  • Explore the possibility of relocating Bickett Road between U.S. 42 north of Wilberforce and the U.S. 35/Bickett Road intersection.

Study Goals

  • Improve safety on US42 and Bickett Road.
  • Provide an alternative route to Bickett Road where it passes through the Wilberforce University campus.
  • Make safety improvements at the intersection of US42 and Stevenson Road.
