This is a major rehabilitation of the U.S. 33/U.S. 50 interchange in Athens. It includes pavement, guardrail, drainage, lighting, and other work. Additionally, a roundabout will be constructed at Stimson Avenue.

The project will be completed in multiple phases, and it involves closures which require detours.

  • The ramp from Stimson Avenue to U.S. 50/U.S. 33 westbound is closed. The ramp from Stimson Avenue to U.S. 50 eastbound is also closed. ODOT's detour is Stimson Avenue to Rock Riffle Road to U.S. 33 east towards Pomeroy to the Richland Avenue exit to U.S. 33 west. 
  • One lane is closed at Stimson Avenue/Rock Riffle Road. Traffic is being maintained with temporary signals.
  • The U.S. 33 eastbound to U.S. 50/U.S. 32 eastbound ramp (Exits 197 A-B) is closed. ODOT's detour: continue on U.S. 33 eastbound through project location, past the ramp closure. Take the U.S. 33 eastbound exit at the interchange of U.S. 33 and U.S. 50. Take the Richland Avenue exit from U.S. 33 eastbound. Turn left onto Richland Avenue and immediately turn left onto the U.S. 33 westbound entrance ramp. Merge with U.S. 50 eastbound and continue on U.S. 50 eastbound beyond project locations.

The overall project completion date is October 1, 2023.
