Milnor Road and State Route 204 construction project UPDATE 09/03/2025
According to the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) District 5.
Closure Start & Timeline:
-The intersection of SR 204 and Milnor Road will close beginning Monday, September 8, 2025.
-The contractor has a 50-day closure window and must reopen the intersection by October 29, 2025.
-While the formal completion date is November 1, 2025, penalties will apply if the intersection is not reopened by October 29.
Detours & Traffic Plan:
-A formal detour will be posted: SR 204 → north on SR 256 → east on I-70 → south on SR 310 → back to SR 204.
-A local route using Harmon, Refugee, and Pickerington Roads is expected to see increased traffic, although it will not be officially signed as a detour.
-Neighborhood roads in subdivisions (New England, Haaf Farm and Chevington) WILL NOT SERVE AS DETOURS and will remain accessible only to residents, school buses, mail, and waste services.
This project will create delays and impact travel through the area. Please plan ahead, and make sure to take the official/formal detour(s) around this project. We have met with the Fairfield County Sheriff's office, who will have an increased presence to monitor cut-through traffic and watch for motorists breaking traffic laws in this area. We encourage patience and courtesy during the time of construction 😀
