Bowling Green is planning another roundabout on East Wooster Street – this one at the intersection with Campbell Hill Road.
The project, which is planned for 2023, will also create a median along the center of Wooster Street from Campbell Hill to the Interstate 75 interchange.
Bowling Green with assistance from the Ohio Department of Transportation is inviting residents to a virtual public meeting to present information regarding a proposed project at the intersection of Wooster Street and Campbell Hill Road/Alumni Drive in the City of Bowling Green.
The meeting will be held virtually on Wednesday, Sept. 16, from 4 to 5 p.m., with a project presentation at 4 p.m.
The proposed work includes the construction of a new roundabout at the intersection of Wooster Street and Campbell Hill Road/Alumni Drive. Other improvements will include a new median along the center of Wooster Street from the Campbell Hill intersection to the existing roundabout at the I-75 interchange.
The new median will restrict access and convert commercial drives to right-in and right-out which is expected to improve safety. The new medians will also have decorative lighting and trees.
This project is part of the City of Bowling Green’s plan to provide a gateway to the City of Bowling Green and the BGSU campus.
The purpose of the meeting is to explain the overall project, present the preliminary roundabout design and potential impacts, discuss how traffic will be maintained during construction for vehicles and pedestrians, the proposed detour route for vehicles, answer any questions, and get public input.
During construction, traffic on Wooster Street will be maintained throughout the project. Traffic on Campbell Hill will be detoured for approximately 45 days and traffic on Alumni Drive will be detoured for approximately 60 days.
There will be the need for some temporary and/or permanent right of way from the properties directly adjacent to the intersection.
Construction is expected to occur around the summer of 2023.
