Reply #7: This is a very busy area right now with a lot of heavy equipment [View All]

zipping around to get the next load and push the next pile. Scioto-Darby intersects w/Hilliard-Rome Road aka Main aka Avery which is being widened and reconstructed. About two weeks ago, road construction was extended into Old Hilliard. Narrow lanes of torn up gravel-strewn roadway, barrels and barricades everywhere, heavy traffic at rush hours with HUGE dozers, gravel trucks, men in reflective vests, and vehicles who just can't wait for a clear shot at entering the main road. It's do-able, but it's a mess! Each day's commute through the area brings another surprise change-up in traffic pattern. One needs to be VERY alert because visibility has been compromised and driver's cannot entirely be sure how their vehicles will react on the make-do right-of-ways and drives. Where the construction ends, people go like bats, and the area has busy shopping areas on one side and MANY schools on the other, just out of the construction areas.

I'm so saddened by this tragic story in my neighborhood.
