As is natural this time of year, the list of ongoing road projects from the District Three office of the Ohio Department of Transportation is getting shorter as projects conclude. Here is the current list of ongoing work in Richland, Ashland, and Crawford Counties over the next week. All projects below are expected to be completed before the end of this month.
ASHLAND COUNTY

US 224, from SR 511 to the Medina Co. line, will have intermittent single lane closures for a resurfacing project. Traffic will be maintained by flaggers.
CRAWFORD COUNTY
State Route 98
SR 98 (Plymouth St.), from SR 4 (Sandusky Ave.) to US 30, is closed for sanitary sewer installations and resurfacing work. No truck traffic will be permitted to travel through this area. Only local traffic will be able to access certain portions of SR 98 as the project progresses.
