Franklin County Engineer

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.

This roundabout is another example of how intersection improvements can positively impact safety. Crash data shows reduced incidents and zero injuries after construction, results that reflect the benefits of modern traffic design. As we head into construction season, these success stories help illustrate why roundabouts remain a valuable safety tool.

When winter tested our region, teamwork delivered. During one of the most significant winter storms in recent history, Franklin County Snowfighters worked tirelessly in dangerous conditions to keep our County roadways safe and passable. At the same time, we proudly partnered with the City of Columbus to support emergency snow removal downtown, hauling snow to McCoy Park so first responders, hospitals, and essential services could keep moving. This wasn’t a choice between communities, but a commitment to regional collaboration, because when one part of our region moves forward, we all do.

Overall roadways have improved to the point that the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office cancelled the Level 2 Snow Emergency for Franklin County. Secondary and residential roadways may still be hazardous due to remaining snow and ice. A LEVEL ONE Snow Emergency for Franklin County remains in effect. Use extreme caution when traveling on roadways and watch for possible drifting snow.
