As a local public works agency headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, the Franklin County Engineer's Office is responsible for the maintenance and construction of 271 miles of county roadway and 351 county bridges, as well as upkeep of all county ditches, drains, retention basins, and other storm water facilities within the right-of-way of county roads in unincorporated areas. To meet the continuing development and infrastructure needs of Franklin County, the Engineer's Office utilizes the latest technologies for determining and maintaining roadway centerlines and boundaries; retracing and setting new monuments for original public land surveys; preparing geographic information system mapping for real estate tax assessments; and establishing precise countywide horizontal and vertical control to maintain uniformity in construction, surveying, and mapping.
We appreciated the opportunity to participate in today’s SMPS Columbus program, What’s Coming: 2026 Capital Improvement Plans. Chief Deputy of Engineering W. Fritz Crosier, P.E., represented the Franklin County Engineer’s Office on a panel alongside other local leaders sharing firsthand updates on upcoming projects, funding priorities, and growth strategies. The event was a valuable forum for sharing information on future projects and connecting with partners across the industry.

The Franklin County Engineer’s Office is excited to share that $1.5 million in federal funding has been awarded to support three key roadway improvement projects in our community: the Havens Corners Road at Taylor Station Road and Mann Road Roundabout, the Cooke Road Corridor (Glenmawr Avenue to Karl Road), and Morse Road (Johnstown Road to Reynoldsburg-New Albany Road) Improvement Projects. These investments will help improve safety, reduce congestion, and enhance connectivity for residents, businesses, and travelers throughout the area.
We are grateful to Congresswoman Joyce Beatty for her support in securing Community Project Funding for these improvements and for her continued commitment to strengthening infrastructure across Franklin County.
