Ohio Testing “When Workers Present” Construction Speed Limits
September 24, 2012 by JohnIndiana uses these speed limit signs with flashing lights, and as a driver I think it’s nice to be able to continue at the normal speed limit when there are no workers present. However, there are also times when speed limits are reduced in construction zones because of temporary geometric changes (e.g., shorter tapers, narrower lanes). ODOT will have to be careful to let drivers know which zones require speed reductions at all times and which only require reduction when lights are flashing.

Are they constructing the portions of Elijah Pierce Blvd and Lester Driver that go along this portion of I71 during this phase of construction or will that wait until the next I71 related phase?I'm fairly certain it's all being constructed at once during this phase. Though I'm not clear on how that will alter traffic patters with Elijah Pierce and Lester only running for two blocks in the short term.

Nice view of the I-71 trench mess with Long Street over on the right and the retaining wall for the mini-tunnel under the Spring Street Cap on the left:

Here's a new update of the mess. Lots of retaining walls going in and a lot of dirt infill work going on. Pretty wild to see how much of the surfaces here are changing for the final product. It's starting to come together visually in a way that was left up to the imagination previously.

Was just on 670 EB heading towards the airport and it is very cool to see where the lanes for 670 will be once the second flyover bridge is opened. Things are really starting to take shape here. Can't wait for the finished product.
