On Thursday, the Ohio Department of Transportation kicked off their construction season. A variety of projects are currently in place to begin. One major project will see Allen County have two new roundabouts installed at highly-traveled areas of State Route 309. Roundabouts will be installed at the Thayer and Napoleon Road intersections of State Route 309.

Over the past couple of years dozens of accidents have happened at the intersections of state route 309 at Thayer to Napoleon roads. On Wednesday night ODOT met with people from the Lima-area to discuss plans to help solve this issue. ODOT held a public meeting to discuss their plans for the intersections and receive input on what the community believes is the best option.

Their current project consists of widening 309 and adding turn lanes at Thayer and Napoleon Roads or installing single lane roundabouts at both locations. They have hired consultants Jacobs Engineering Group to design the project. This project is funded by Governor Mike DeWine's intersection safety program.
