Columbus closing California Street for State Street corridor work

The City of Columbus is reporting that crews will be closing California Street soon for work in the area and that closure will last until November.

Crews began preliminary work on the project last week as part of the next phase of the State Street corridor project. The ultimate goal is to make a walkable streetscape between State Street and Mill Race Park along Fifth Street.

California Street is expected to close on Monday from 4th to 6th Streets for replacement of a water line and that work will last about two weeks. Several utility companies have relocations to complete near California and Third Streets and the closure there is expected to last until November, depending on how the work proceeds and the weather.
