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.
Gantz Road, north of Willow Run Road, is closed due to a fallen tree and downed powerline in the roadway. The road will remain closed until the issue has been resolved.
Winter weather brings various types of precipitation, each with unique hazards. Snow can create slippery roads, sleet adds an icy layer, freezing rain coats surfaces with dangerous ice, and even rain can freeze overnight. Stay informed, drive cautiously, and be prepared for changing conditions. For more information visit weather.gov/winter.
Our offices are closed in observance of the Christmas holiday. We will reopen Thursday, December 26, 2024, at 7:00 a.m. We wish you a safe and joyous day. Merry Christmas!

In collaboration with local first responders, we visited Nationwide Children's Hospital to bring holiday cheer to patients and staff unable to be home during the holidays. It was a privilege to take part in such a meaningful event.
Black ice poses a significant hazard during winter driving, as it is nearly invisible and often forms on bridges, overpasses, and shaded areas. Please exercise caution by reducing your speed, increasing following distances, and avoiding sudden braking or steering. Stay alert to protect yourself and others on the road.
