DLZ’s relocation of Ohio Route 794 near Springfield, Ohio in Clark County is nearing completion, with a portion of the relocated roadway already open to the traveling public. The project schedule originally called for a November completion date. The project is also wrapping up under the original budget, which allows the Clark County Engineer to use a heavier, longer-lasting surface on the 1.42 miles of new road. The highway was moved in order to meet new, stricter standards set down by the Department of Defense after 9/11 pertaining to the proximity of roads to defense-related sites. Ohio 794 passes the Springfield Air National Guard Base.
