District 3 of the Ohio Department of Transportation has issued its weekly update on road projects in north central Ohio. The following routes are impacted in Richland County:
Interstate 71
I-71 southbound, just south of US 30, has southbound shoulder closures and intermittent daytime lane closures possible as crews work on a noise wall project. Motorists are advised to watch for construction vehicles entering the US 30 westbound entrance ramp to I-71. The project is expected to be complete April 2017.
State Route 97
SR 97, at its interchange with Interstate 71, has narrowed lanes of traffic for a minor widening project. Possible intermittent lane closures are possible as crews continue work on striping, grading and miscellaneous work items. The project is expected to be complete by the spring of 2017.
