While the new roundabout is finally complete, Cosgray Road headaches will continue for just a bit.

Cosgray Road between Hayden Run Road and Rings Road re-opened on Friday, September 26th, but Cosgray Road between Rings Road and Churchman Road will close beginning Monday, October 6th thru Friday, October 10th. CSX Railroad will be making repairs to the railroad crossing and repaving this section of Cosgray. This project is unrelated to the storm sewer work being done along Cosgray by the Franklin County Engineer’s Office.

Finishing touches on the new roundabout continue with everything planned to be completed before the end of the year.

Another bit of good news is that the City is working on a separate project to install a street light at the intersection of Rings, Pensworthy and Bonanza. According to the the City of Dublin Engineering Office, that may happen by year’s end.

The $6.2 million roundabout project brings a bit of traffic relief and finally eliminate the dangerous Avery & Rings intersection. The project includes new sidewalks, a shared use path, a pedestrian bridge over Cramer Creek and street lighting. The bike path that runs along Rings Road has also been extended westward and now connects with Ballantrae.

The roundabout is considered an Interim Intersection Improvement project since the widening of Avery Road (and the Tuttle Crossing Blvd. extension) will not be happening in the near future. According to Paul Hammersmith, City of Dublin Director of Engineering, “the extension is not currently programmed in Dublin’s 5-Year Capital Improvements Program (CIP). The CIP is evaluated and updated annually and the (Tuttle) extension is always discussed as part of that update. Given the cost of the extension, the City of Dublin desires to have other agencies participate in funding the extension considering its regional benefit to the surrounding transportation network.”

The portion of Avery Road in the City of Columbus (from the CSX railroad tracks northward to Avery Run Road) is tentatively scheduled for widening beginning in the Fall of 2026 with completion in late 2028. Click here for details. The plan by the City of Dublin is to also widen the remaining 2-lane portion of Avery Road (just north of Avery Run to the new roundabout) at the same time as the City of Columbus completes their project, not waiting on the Tuttle Crossing Blvd. extension. The only piece of Avery still not widened after this project wraps up will be the small section from Corporate Center Drive/Blunden Road to just past Cramer’s Crossing Drive.
