The checkpoint will be run with the assistance of the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office and Powell police.
Two more checkpoints are planned in the City of Hilliard.
The first will be run between 8 and 10 p.m. on Hilliard-Rome Road at Richlanne Drive.
The second will operate between 12 a.m. and 2 a.m. on Cemetery Road east of Lacon Drive.
Nearby saturation patrols will also be used.
