Learning to Drive in Wadsworth: High Street, Broad Street and I-76
State Route 94 / High Street
High Street carries SR 94 through Wadsworth and is a high-volume north-south state highway. Current city engineering documents specifically identify the High Street/SR 94 corridor.
For a learner, High Street introduces:
Commercial entrances
Turning traffic
Signalized intersections
Multiple destinations
Regional traffic
Connections toward I-76 and US 224
Broad Street and Wadsworth High School
Wadsworth High School is located directly on Broad Street at 625 Broad Street.
Broad Street therefore has substantial student-driver relevance, particularly around arrival, dismissal, athletics and the adjacent community-campus facilities.
Downtown Main, High, Broad and College Streets
Downtown Wadsworth is centered around a compact network involving:
High Street
Main Street
Broad Street
College Street
Current downtown planning specifically focuses on the way these streets and intersections function together.
A student driver downtown should expect:
On-street parking
Pedestrians
Businesses
Crosswalks
Closely spaced intersections
Lower speeds than regional highways
Downtown Infrastructure Project Is Now Planned for 2027
Wadsworth originally considered beginning its major downtown infrastructure project in 2026, but the city announced in June 2026 that construction was postponed while documents and costs are finalized.
The current city page says construction is expected to begin in 2027.
STATUS: DESIGN/FINALIZATION IN 2026. CONSTRUCTION EXPECTED 2027.
The project will eventually include upgraded utilities, sidewalks, pedestrian crossings, lighting, streetscape elements and changes to the downtown roadway environment.
Active 2026 Street Improvement Program
Separate from the future downtown project, Wadsworth has a 2026 Street Improvement Project involving pavement repairs, resurfacing, curbing, drive approaches and pavement markings.
The contract was awarded to Melway Paving and calls for substantial completion by September 25, 2026.
STATUS: CURRENT 2026 STREET PROGRAM.
Future SR 94 / Reimer Road Roundabout
Wadsworth is also designing a roundabout at SR 94/High Street and Reimer Road.
The project is currently scheduled for state FY 2028.
STATUS: FUTURE PROJECT, NOT ACTIVE CONSTRUCTION.
For new drivers, it is another reason to learn proper modern-roundabout procedures before the city's road network changes.
