Their information said "ODOT has been working on plans for a maintenance/safety project on Westerville Road from SR 161 to Dempsey Road.  The plans are nearly complete and the project is expected to be built in 2011.  As part of the project, ODOT will upgrade the corridor including improving the Dempsey Road intersection, adding a center lane (in most sections without one), modifications to private access points (driveways), and new curb gutter, storm sewers and traffic signals."
