Columbus is continuing an aggressive resurfacing program. See below for streets to be paved between now and November as well as some to be paved beginning in March or April 2011. Please watch for crews who will be paving and installing accessible curb ramps. Other municpalities and jurisdictions in central Ohio are conducting resurfacing programs as well.
Crews will post No-Parking signs three days before paving operations begin. Cars parked in the way on the days indicated by the signs may be impounded or towed to the next street.
Paving basically takes place in two phases: milling and filling. Milling operations scrape off and save old pavement for recycling, leaving a rough but drivable surface. Drivers, pedestrians and cyclists should be cautious when navigating milled streets; the pavement may be uneven and casements such as manholes will be higher than normal.
The filling or paving phase usually takes place 2 to 9 days after the milling. Depending on circumstances, one or two courses of new pavement may be placed. Temporary pavement markings are sometimes placed before permanent striping is put down.

Construction on SR 315 between North Broadway and I-670 is now in its second and final year.
This year, crews are making improvements to the roadway surface of SR 315 south and eight bridges.
Both directions of traffic are using SR 315 north, which was improved last year when construction began on phase one of the project.
SR 315 Update Sunday (8/15):
All three lanes of SR 315 south will open including all entrance and exit ramps by Monday August 23, 2010, more than a week ahead of schedule. Good weather coupled with the contractors aggressive work schedule led to the early completion.
Switching traffic to the new SR 315 south will begin Saturday, August 21 at 8 p.m. By Monday at 5 a.m., all three lanes of SR 315 south will be open as well as all southbound entrance and exit ramps.
All three lanes of SR 315 north including all entrance and exit ramps will be open by noon September 10. Final paving on SR 315 north still needs to be completed.
According to the ODOT contract, Complete General Construction has until next year to remove the barrier wall and put the final pavement surface on both directions of SR 315, but ODOT and the contractor worked out an agreement so the final pavement work can occur on all north and southbound lanes of SR 315 this year instead of next.
When SR 315 south opens on August 23, the speed limit will resume to 65 mph, but until September 10, the speed on SR 315 north will remain 45 mph since travel will be restricted to two lanes, and the ramps at Goodale, I-670, Lane and Olentangy River Road to SR 315 north will still be closed.
On September 2, the first Ohio State University football game, the contractor will not be able to work on any travel lanes on SR 315 after 12 noon, except behind the barrier wall. The contractor has also agreed not to bring any heavy truck traffic into the work zone after noon. ODOT, the city, law enforcement and the university have all worked together to make sure ramps are accessible to move fans in and out of the stadium safely on the September 2. (ODOT)
The following ramps are CLOSED :
Ramps to northbound S.R. 315
I-670 east to northbound S.R. 315
Goodale Boulevard to northbound S.R. 315
Olentangy River Road to northbound S.R. 315
Lane Avenue to northbound S.R. 315
The following ramps will remain OPEN :

S.R. 315 north to Ackerman Road

Southbound S.R. 315 exit ramps
