CENTERVILLE – The state is seeking public feedback for a road project at one of Centerville’s busiest intersections south of Kettering.

The city of Centerville plans to “fully reconstruct” traffic signals at Ohio 48 and Ohio 725, or Alex Bell Road.

The project is set for the fall of 2021. Nearly 34,000 vehicles use the intersection daily on average, ODOT records show.
