Henderson Road is scheduled to be reduced to
eastbound only, April 20th, between just east of S.R. 315 (Starret Rd.) and High Street. Crews
will be reconstructing the road and making other improvements and expect completion late this
fall. Westbound traffic will be detoured to S.R.161 and North Broadway. For more information
visit the City of Columbus Henderson Road Project page.

State Route 315 Project Information & map
http://www.dot.state.oh.us/projects/315/Pages/StateRoute315InteractiveProjectMap.aspx
Three miles of State Route 315 will be under construction beginning June 15, 2009 from
I-670 to North Broadway. Crews will work on several bridges and the pavement to improve
conditions for the 70,000 vehicles that use this gateway every day. Work on the northbound
side of SR 315 will begin this summer meaning both directions of traffic will use the
southbound lanes to travel. There will be two lanes of traffic maintained in each
direction during the construction period.
