SEOH HWY UPGRADES 


IN SOUTHEAST OHIO, GROUND HAS BEEN BROKEN ON UPGRADING TWO MAJOR HIGHWAY SEGMENTS LINKING COLUMBUS WITH WEST VIRGINIA. 
U-S ROUTE 33 BETWEEN ATHENS AND THE TINY TOWN OF DARWIN IS BEING UPGRADED TO FOUR LANES. IT HAS BEEN 27 YEARS SINCE O-DOT BEGAN TALKS TO MOVE 33 TO THE WEST, CREATING A SO-CALLED 'SUPER TWO' ROUTE CUTTING THROUGH THE RUGGED HILLS SOUTH OF ATHENS. EXPERTS SAY TRAFFIC COUNTS ON THE HIGHWAY HAVE INCREASED, AND SO HAVE CRASHES, CALLING FOR TWO MORE LANES. ALSO, 33 BETWEEN POMEROY AND RAVENSWOOD, WEST VIRGINIA IS BEING UPGRADED TO FOUR LANES.
