  • Abstract:
    Licking County, Ohio, has experienced numerous floods with the majority of flood damages occurring in the central and south-central areas of the county along four streams: the Licking River, North Fork Licking River, South Fork Licking River, and Raccoon Creek. Flooding from these four streams affect communities including: Village of Granville, City of Newark, City of Heath, Village of Hebron, and the Village of Buckeye Lake. In addition, flooding has resulted in the closure of Interstate Route70 (I-70) in the vicinity of the Village of Buckeye Lake and the interchange of I-70 and State Route 79 (SR-79). The closure of I-70 results in traffic congestion, loss of commerce, and safety issues. The safety issues arise in part because commercial truck traffic is detoured into the nearby communities on State routes that lack the carrying capacity and intersection turning clearance to safely pass the increased traffic flow. Discussions between the United States Geological Survey (USGS), Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and other interested parties identified the need for a comprehensive flood-warning system in central and south-central Licking County. ODOT will use the information from the flood-warning system in conjunction with their traffic alert systems to warn of the potential closure of I-70 and redirect traffic in advance.
